Somehow I find this very disturbing. Why does everyone seem to be so sure that master must be understood (and therefore shunned) as half of master-slave instead of half of master-apprentice or master-bachelor or master-junior? Am I from now on forbidden to master a technique? Should I stop listening to master violinists? Do we have to abandon or rename Master programs after the Bachelor programs?
I totally agree that terms like 'master-slave flip-flop' must be changed. However, there have never been slave branches on github, and making this change totally means bringing the present political upheavalsof mainly one big country into a international, technical context where it really does not belong. So yes, I am totally opposed to doing this. As long as you can still get a Master degree at a single American university, I do not even consider one second of the SymPy's development team well spent on this issue. peter.st...@gmail.com schrieb am Dienstag, 18.
