Étienne Hossack commented on AMQ-7514:
--------------------------------------
[~michael.andre.pearce], my opinions of the nomenclature expressed here are
purely my own. My callout of what AWS uses was simply a data point to
illustrate that it is viable to use Active/Standby and cause no confusion.
I would definitely prefer a decision come collaboratively in the spirit of the
Apache community. [~tetlucas] and myself are passionate about both inclusivity
and open source, and wanted to help drive the conversation through the phases
of this plan. If that’s being taken as Amazon MQ trying to dictate anything
then we would be more than happy to recuse ourselves from this conversation and
let the community at large decide how to proceed.

> Key: AMQ-7514
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-7514
> Project: ActiveMQ
> Issue Type: Task
> Reporter: Bruce Snyder
> Priority: Major
> Time Spent: 3h 50m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> Given the racial charged nature of certain terms in today's world, we must
> pull together to create a plan for changing any such terms throughout all the
> ActiveMQ projects and in the git repos themselves.
>
> Example: [https://activemq.apache.org/masterslave.html]
>
> Here are just a few terms that should be changed: * The following terms are
> being targeted for change:
> *
> ** 'master' and 'slave' should be replaced with the terms 'live' and 'backup'
> ** 'whitelist' and 'blacklist' should be replaced with the terms 'allowlist'
> and 'denylist'
> * Rename all the git 'master' branches to the term 'main'
> Proposal notes from activemq-dev mailing list
> Phase 1:
> 1. Deprecate terms such as ‘master’ and ’slave
> 2. log.warn any configuration change notifications
> 3. Provide compatibility under the covers for deprecated terms
> 4. Provide any openwire compatibility changes b/w ActiveMQ 5 and Artemis
> 5. Notify users in an announcement and provide a conversion HOWTO
> Phase 2:
> 1. Remove terminology as part of a major or minor release (SEMVER where ‘y’
> in ‘x.y.z’ is minor version number)
> New terms:
> a. For shared storage: ‘active’ and ’standby’
> b. For replication: ‘primary’ and ‘replica'
> c. For 'white list' and 'blacklist': 'allow list' and 'deny list'
> For example:
> ‘master’ -> ‘active’
> ’slave’ -> ’standby'
