Thanks for the patch. I have one comment.

Okay, yes that could be a bit confusing for the reader. Nit: I would
replace "master" with "primary" while we are in the area. What do you
think?
But that's the only comment I have, the rest looks good!

Hi Michael,
Changing master to primary was my first inclination, but I saw that we
have 8 masters and 4 primaries here. So maybe we should have another
consistency patch (that probably goes beyond this chapter). I can
prepare one if you like.
P.S. I'm not particularly happy about this paragraph either, but that's
as far as I could get without twisting the original ideas.
