Having just noticed the last 4 or 5 emails related to this thread I have to say
this is classic political correctness garbage.

Likewise. Thank you, Rich!
When this issue came up in Buildbot 5 years ago, there was a fair bit of...
discussion, see
http://trac.buildbot.net/ticket/2340
The resolution back then was to rename 'slave' to 'worker', which was a LOT of
work, and seemed to satisfy everybody at the time.
It came up again recently, see
https://github.com/buildbot/buildbot/issues/5382
and they're now looking at whether and how to address the word 'master'.
Not having noticed this discussion in openssl until today, here's my two cents
as an openssl user:
I think an incremental approach is fine, clean up the most offensive word or two
first, and then see where things land. And if it can't start immediately,
that's
ok, it took buildbot a while to come up with the needed consensus and
elbow grease.

Can we please put the knives a way? Rich has given a lot to this
community. As an openssl user, I'd rather the conversation moved along.
