If "Master/Slave" terminology in computing sounds bad now, why not change it to "Dom/Sub"?
It sounds way less offensive to those who decry the original terminology's problematic roots but still keeps its meaning intact.

Aren't IDE drives basically the only thing that used the master/slave terminology?
Icinga2 uses it
Databses used to and switched to primary secondary
Code releses use master, develop...
Its all over software still but transitioning
the master branch in git refers to mastering, the same as the term “remastered”, rather than slavery. I prefer main anyways.
Bluetooth used it as well, but have now switched to central/peripheral.
Nah, industrial communication protocols in the IT industry uses lots of master/slave terminology. E.g. Modbus and Profibus DP comes to mind.
