Comment (by kimmers):

 Master/Worker is just a suggestion and another less offensive term may
 also provide an adequate solution.

 @Marx There have been past legal cases where the 'Master/Slave' term has
 been banned in hard drive arrangements. No matter your individual position
 on this subject, I think we can all agree that it would be a shame if this
 were to prevent someone from using this software in the future.

 @dustin Thank you for being sensitive and open to this request. Note that
 this request would cover changes to the documentation (which is excellent
 by the way) as well as the code base. I do understand your concern for
 this to not impact development and backwards compatibility.
