+1 to Itamar. I'd be interested to hear any case studies of how this has been handled in other OS projects with master/slave namings if anyone can give examples?

So please don't do that, or if you do, consider leaving in a configuration option to keep the current names for sane upgrades.

Here are the questions I would like us to answer: 1. What should we call the "Mesos Slave" node/host/machine? 2. What should we call the "mesos-slave" process (could be the same)? 3. Do we need to rename Mesos Master too? Another topic worth discussing is the deprecation process, but we don't necessarily need to decide on that at the same time as deciding the new name(s). 4. How will we phase in the new name and phase out the old name? Please voice your thoughts and opinions below. Thanks! -Adam- P.S. My personal thoughts: 1. Mesos Worker [Node] 2. Mesos Worker or Agent 3. No 4. Carefully
