The better reference to what the IETF is doing is this one:

I agree on your point about rfc2328bis.

OTOH, I don't think that a mass update would work as expected simply
because the terminology may not be used within the same context in all
cases, so a common replacement may not always make sense.

For the case that Mike points at, I think we could "simply" publish a
document that Updates rfc2328 and explains what the new terminology
should be -- assuming the WG is ok with it.  I would think that
something like primary/secondary or leader/follower could work.

My 2c.

Alvaro.
