Honestly, I'm personally still failing understand the problem of using
slightly offending word when referring to a machine (e.g. "slave" or
"lame").
I'll try to keep myself very short, also trying to avoid posting
followup reactions. But perhaps some of you could point me to a
reference that might help me understand better, as this is recurring in
the recent years (also outside DNS).
Of course I respect that if a *significant* fraction of people does see
a problem, I can also move on to another set of terms, but I feel like
I'm missing substance and often the renames come with nontrivial costs.
Why would a person take offense when those words are *clearly* about a
machine? In reality we treat these machines worse than human slaves
were treated.
