Sorry for being a bit thick here, but where is this sudden urgency
coming from? It's been like this for many, many y
but rather replace
"slave" with "sink" starting right away.

Agreed. My plan is NOT to wait for the committee but rathe

So, yes, the IEEE 1588 committee has changed terminology before
("time-aware bridge" -> "time-aware relay") and may do so again, to
remove words that

Let's take it easy on one another.
Initially it looks it is going towards humanoid rights, but it is different
than that (more than machines' will).
More towards sensitivities of the users/admin who'd read/use such terms day
in/out and associated sensibilities.
Unless it comes from standard, diff

I mean, yes, a slave is not only somebody who works for a master, but
somebody who does so

Yes, each client is correcting itself to match to the the master and as a
continuous process of matching to the chosen one by following it like a
closed-loop dogfight. Anyways, source / sink are ok too, and maybe a
super-source as GM?

each follower at different distance from the lea

Let's think about those terms...
If clock A is leading clock B, then clock A is running ahead.
If clock A is following clock B, then clock A is running behind.
Sounds rather sill

There is an industry wide effort underway to replace historically and
culturally loaded terms like master/slave with neutral alternatives.
The IEEE 1588 committee will most likely amend the standard, but so
far no consensus on the new terminology has been reached.
