Wow. This topic has generated a lot of comment. We at ISC decided in 2017 to provide aliases for the master/slave terminology in BIND so users who don’t wish to use those terms don’t have to. It was not a burden to make this change in the source code. Back when we made that initial change,

I just got into a disagreement with a couple of people on this. I’m sure this won’t be much different. My feeling is that we’re dealing with software and things here and not people. A Master is simply an authoritative source in this context. It has nothing to do with enslaving human beings.

I concur with this. I'm still fairly new to BIND and DNS myself. I maintain 7 name servers (3 internal, 4 external) and master does signify to me that this is the server in control of the zone files for the other ones in that pool. The slaves are pretty much that to me, they take the zone

The terminology is fairly misleading, as in the slave is not doing the work on-behalf of or instruction of the the master. But there is ways for the master to influence the slaves; such as "allow-transfer". I don't see the big issue with making a terminology change in this case. On 15/06/2020
