Hi internals,
I think the time has come for the PHP internals to discuss the use of master/slave and blacklist
terminologies.
As everyone can see, we are going through times of change in the world, see #blackLivesMatter for
example.
Therefore, I propose that we discuss the non-use of terms master/slave, because the use of this can
allude to the slavery and negative feelings about black people.
Some projects that changed the terminology:
* https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit/commit/8e9c76d33dab4095c9066072076f368193e4166d
* https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/236857/
* https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2248
* https://bugs.python.org/issue34605
Greets,
Daniel Rodrigues.
