        Moreover, the ideas conveyed previously were still conveyed, just not using stigmatizing language. Now, they don’t even want you to convey the idea.

      Nobody even asked those who you consider minorities if they really want or need the master branches of the code repositories to be renamed to main branches.

      That’s admittedly a bit silly. But what about “master/slave” configurations of servers or app instances? It’s a bit more naked what the analogy is in those cases, and “main/standby” is arguably more informative anyway.
