I think, acceptlist and rejectlist are a more meaningful pair of terms.
Similarly I, and the places I've worked, have always used client and server rather than slave and master. While I see no need to use 'slave' term outside its historic and ongoing human designation, I do see a continuing use for 'master', where it describes a unique object that is frequently replicated of a person with extensive understanding of a body of knowledge, e.g. master (of a sailing ship), master craftsman, or a qualification: MSc, MA, etc. Martin
