Hi,

-1 master/worker
-1 master/agent
-1 leader/follower

+1 master/slave

Suggestion:

+1 brain/hands
+1 policeman/civilian

In both cases - rename it later :)

I think the Mesos project is not in the stage where these "extremely
important problems" deserve such a waste of smart people's time.

Have a nice day :)
