    It’s really awesome when the whole world has to stop using master / slave nomenclature because one country has ugly past.

      1. not just one country. 2) this is different because no one actually made anyone do that. That I know of, no company was going around threatening to cancel services if other companies didn’t stop using the term, and certainly no one large and critical. A social pressure to change a word is different from a financial pressure to remove a product.

        I am not talking about the slavery but about the nomenclature. Only one country had a problem with its use in technology and we all had to change.
