I know full well the issues with this terminology. Piuparts is a system I inherited only a few weeks ago, and the master/slave terminology is deeply ingrained throughout its code and documentation (as well as its deployment). It's going to take a while as well as substantial effort to switch away to something else. But I sure intend to get to it at some point. Before people expend too much energy defending the legacy terminology (/me glares at #debian-devel), might I suggest directing that energy towards reporting some bugs discovered by piuparts (or fixing some piuparts bugs) instead? Thanks, -- Nicolas Dandrimont
