Hi Nikita, Thanks for suggestions, I didn't mean to be disrespectful. Create an RFC is exactly the next step, but first I needed to understand if there was support for that. How is it in the process of creating an RFC... "1. Email internals@lists.php.net to measure reaction to your intended proposal.

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. If you would like to rename user-visible symbols, please create an RFC, which details what exactly will be renamed, analyzes what the backward compatibility impact will be and provides a sensible migration path and timeline. If I may be honest, I find it somewhat disrespectful that you started this thread without investing any effort from your side. A simple "grep backlist" and "grep master" on the PHP codebase would have gone a long way towards identifying what can/should be changed. Regards, Nikita
