We have decided to put the list into general moderation because it feels like 
there is nothing substantive to add on this topic and it seems like we might 
benefit from a cooling off period before anyone gets more upset. We will push 
through any posts on any other topic (about BIND anyway), and will remove the 
moderation flag in a day or two.

If anyone wants to object, they can email me directly, or just mail to the list 
and I will see it even if it isn’t posted.

Re: BIND Masters and slaves

2020-06-15 Thread Victoria Risk
Wow. This topic has generated a lot of comment. 

We at ISC decided in 2017 to provide aliases for the master/slave terminology 
in BIND so users who don’t wish to use those terms don’t have to.  It was not a 
burden to make this change in the source code. 

Back when we made that initial change, I personally received several private 
emails from actual BIND users who had felt triggered, offended or otherwise 
distracted by the master/slave terminology, thanking us for making this change. 
 If even one or two users were upset by the old terms, that is enough, and 
surely there are more users who were impacted who didn’t speak up.  

We are now in the process of updating the terminology used in the BIND ARM. 
These edits are in review now (along with many other updates to the ARM.)

At the time we made the initial change we didn’t have a process for removing 
obsolete features so we just added an alias. Now that we do(1), we would like 
to implement that process to gradually deprecate the master/slave terms in 
favor of primary/secondary.  We would introduce a warning in 9.18, mark the old 
terms as deprecated in 9.20, and remove them in 9.21 (development branch). So, 
the master/slave terms will still work in the 9.20 Extended Support Version 
through its lifetime, which ends at the end of 2025. This constitutes an 8-year 
period for this change, which should be enough for even the most change-averse 
among us to adapt. 

We are trying to ensure that this project is as inclusive as possible. BIND and 
the DNS are complicated enough without adding additional barriers. This seems 
like a reasonable accommodation. If this change (over the next 6 years) will 
cause you a signficant problem, please say so, but we don’t need to continue 
discussing whether it is worth the effort any more, because we are already 
convinced it is worth the effort on our part.

People call me weeb and say the word autistic often, which are because.. 
well, I am a weeb (as in I like anime) and some conversations on the 
internet are just autistic. I have Asperger's Syndrome and am a weeb 
myself. I am not offended by either, short of people inappropriately 
calling me so (not very often!). It seems that the same applies from 
e.g. the black community.


I can only talk about my own "diseases" and the impact upon me. I have 
been in healthcare for about a decade for the Asperger's Syndrome part 
which I will focus on. It has no relation the black community whatsoever 
but is similarly an underrepresented and misrepresented community. It is 
also a minority. With that aside, I seek no sympathy whatsoever on any 
of that. I got out of those bullshit institutions out of willpower, they 
sought to repress it all, taking out of my hands any task that would 
require any responsibility whatsoever. I actively pushed against all of 
that for all that time because I knew that I wouldn't want to stay in 
those places forever, and instead be a fully functional member of 
society. And here I am. Living on my own for 3 years so far, doing just 
fine. I do not consider Asperger's Syndrome a disease at this point, 
rather a cognitive boost since usually AS means that there is a 
significant boost in logic ability, at the cost of social ability. 
Please keep that in mind when judging my messages, but other than that I 
couldn't care less about my "disease".


What I'm trying to say through similar advocating to ban "bad words" 
like autism that I've experienced is that most likely the community 
these Twitter people seek to advocate for.. usually don't care. Case in 
point, yours truly. You can call me autistic and I'd really just say - 
more power to you and I guess I am on the internet after all where 
nobody gives a damn. And more power to the internet for being that way.


Let's solve actual problems such as waiting lists for autists in their 
youth from being allowed to professional healthcare institutions where 
they can learn to cope with it. Myself, I had to wait for several years 
multiple times because government just keeps on cutting the healthcare 
budget which hurts our sector the most, despite promising the exact 
opposite during elections. Shorten the waiting lists! Oh crap the budget 
is cut again and waiting lists have to be extended yet again. Thank you 
dear politician who did the same crap all over again!


Fight for real causes, not what I can only describe as censorship which 
doesn't help anyone.

Re: [Non-DoD Source] BIND Masters and slaves

2020-06-15 Thread bind-lists
I have been teaching informal DNS classes at work for decades, and I used to be 
very careful to use “master” and “slave” and would include a section where I 
pointed out that using “primary” and “secondary” instead was not correct. Then 
about 10 years ago one person in class pointed out to me that for some people 
when they hear that terminology it really bothers them because of what slavery 
means. When she said that a few other people nodded and agreed. I hadn’t 
thought about that aspect of it, and so someone had to explain to me how 
jarring and distracting from the subject matter that could be for some people. 
I’ve used “primary” and “secondary” in all my classes and documentation since 
then. Not because of twitter and social media or because I have an image to 
uphold, but in order to be considerate of other people’s feelings and not 
dismiss them because they’re so different from mine.

I would like to see the terms replaced by something that doesn’t hearken back 
to tragedy and torture.

Re: BIND Masters and slaves

2020-06-15 Thread Parkin, Richard (R.)
I just got into a disagreement with a couple of people on this.  I’m sure this 
won’t be much different.

My feeling is that we’re dealing with software and things here and not people.  
A Master is simply an authoritative source in this context.  It has nothing to 
do with enslaving human beings.

Abolishing words that mean something doesn’t erase the ugly, evil nature of 
racism and other societal ills.  Did no one in this generation read and 
understand ‘1984’?  Or did they think it was a good “How-To” manual?

Changing these is a nearly meaningless symbolic gesture that makes it look like 
something happened when nothing really changed in the social context.  The 
irony is that a different kind of domination won out.  And what is the economic 
cost of making these kinds of changes?  Does that time and money go toward any 
real change, or is it just lost?

Are we going to have to stop using the word “Server” next?  Because that kind 
of thought policing offends *me*.  This way lies madness.  The continual caving 
in to political correctness just encourages people to keep doing it.

That said, I’ve long interchangeably used Master and Primary, Slave and 
Secondary.  They’re still descriptive of the process that didn’t change.  I’m 
okay with that.  What I’m not okay with are non-backward compatible syntax 
changes in the configuration files just for the sake of appearances.  That 
affects all of us in a very non-positive way.  If BIND syntax can reliably use 
both forms interchangeably for the next 5-10 years and allow a gradual change, 
fine.

Regardless of whether you consider this a political issue or not the 
terminology master/slave has a poor connotation for large swathes of the

In the time we live in the change from master/slave to primary/secondary 
is both justified and appropriate.


Although nobody likes to change, this is a fairly minor issue and not

There isn't in general a single source of truth for zone data in many DNS
setups. For example, much of the zone contents may come from a database,
possibly augmented by a zone file fragment, and there may be a separate
signing server that keys its keys from a third place. So it's wrong to
insist that the bad old terminology has to be used with the DNS, because
it's often completely incorrect.

This isn't political.  It's just dumb.

P.S. I wish the people all spun up on terminological trivia would actually
expend their energy and activist voice to stop _real_ slavery which
goes on routinely in parts of Africa, Eastern Europe, and in China
every single day.  But trying to grasp what is happening, say, to the
Uyghurs is just way more work than your virtue card punched ...

Hear Hear -


This isn't political.  It's just dumb.

P.S. I wish the people all spun up on terminological trivia would actually
expend their energy and activist voice to stop _real_ slavery which
goes on routinely in parts of Africa, Eastern Europe, and in China
every single day.  But trying to grasp what is happening, say, to the
Uyghurs is just way more work than your virtue card punched ...

What I did notice over time however that most of the projects affected

The latter one I'd like to draw attention to. The maintainer clearly

Re: BIND Masters and slaves

2020-06-15 Thread Ben Lavender
The terminology is fairly misleading, as in the slave is not doing the 
work on-behalf of or instruction of the the master. But there is ways 
for the master to influence the slaves; such as "allow-transfer".


I don't see the big issue with making a terminology change in this case.

"Political correctness" just means being considerate for other people,
especially people who do not have many of the advantages we might take for
granted.

In any case, master/slave is bad terminology because it is actively
misleading. It suggests that zone transfers to downstream servers are
under the control of the upstream servers, which is definitely not the
case. And it suggests a binary categorization of servers which is also
wrong, because zone transfers often form a multi-level cascade between
servers that perform several different functions. It's better to talk
about update servers, signing servers, zone transfer servers, public or
private or stealth authoritative servers. For zone transfers it's better
to talk about which servers are upstream and downstream of each other in
the distribution network.

You should find that your writing is easier to understand, both for
experts and non-experts, if you don't use the bad old terminology.

Hi Brett,

BIND 9 already uses primary/secondary as keywords and we are actively
working on updating BIND 9 to match the canon defined in RFC 8499.

You can find the latest documentation from the BIND 9 development branch
here: https://bind9.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Totally not BIND related, but in BDSM "top" and "bottom" are quite
widely used. So there is a non-slavery-related nomenclature there as well.
