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. "

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.
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
