Re: About the use of the terms master/slave and blacklist, proposal to replace.

Hi the peanut gallery... I can't say that blacklist/whitelist -> something else is a meaningless change.  The challenge we as technologists (nevermind our color) have is that we don't really have good guidance from psychologists and sociologists (I know, I tried chasing down those links last year when this came up in the IETF).  The best I could find argues *against* change, that context matters.[1]  What I can say is that there's a lot of code to change if there is no appreciable social value.  My suggestion is that any PR/RFC include some research results showing that this is likely to improve something for someone.
