Strong -1 for changing the name (either master or slave). >From a community stand point, if dev resources are diverted to renaming efforts, then the community and the user base both lose meaningful functionality that isn't being worked on.
>From a using organization stand point, as well as framework developer perspective, I follow mesos releases pretty closely, and I'm confident that the version that deprecates backward compatibility with the current names will be a version I will not be able to adopt for months, if at all... So please don't do that, or if you do, consider leaving in a configuration option to keep the current names for sane upgrades.
