One year ago, the django community replaced all occurrences of the words master/slave with the words leader/follower (https://github.com/django/django/pull/2692)

The justification for this step was that the terms master and slave may carry racially charged meanings to users.

I have a very clear opinion on this topic, but I would also like to hear what you think about this. Was it totally unneeded or a good step?

And remember, keep a nice and friendly conversation :)
