Everyone,
It's exciting to see that much energy directed at Django! At the same time,
it's sad to see it tragically misused.
If you want to help, there are currently 124 pull requests on GitHub, 133
patches on Trac and 38 new tickets, all needing a review.
Any of these would be a better use of
You're entitled to your own opinions, but you aren't entitled to your own
facts. The terms primary/replica are extremely well established, perhaps
even moreso than master/slave: https://imgur.com/a/pCp3d, the suggestion
that this is a gross violation of computer science nomenclature is pure
fiction
Alex,
With all due respect (I mean it),
The perception from the outside is that you didn't put the Django project best
interest on the first line in that PR / merge but something more personal (plus
being a confusing merge in terms of computer science).
Cheers

I think we all get sent to the naughty step if we continue to discuss
this, so I will just say that "master" is being used as an adjective
in this context, it is the master database, or the master connec
OK. How about "canon" and "replica" ?

Hi everybody.
The Django core developers have made our decision on the terminology we're
going to use; I'd ask that you stop using django-developers to debate this
further.

Greetings!
I saw that someone suggested "leader" and "follower" - I haven't
thought through whether I find this more palatable.
Well, as an individualist I am, I find those terms quite uninviting too.
Hoping to downplay it a bit, what about BDSM terms "Dominant" and
"Submissive", "Dom" and
I just want to clarify a few misunderstanding that I keep seeing popping up.

I think I agree that "primary" is a bad choice. Can you suggest something
other than master? Something that will address the concerns posed in the
past two threads?
I saw that someone suggested "leader" and "follower" - I haven't thought
through whether I find this more palatable.

For once, I'm going to +1 you Tom.
