Do you know the reason it was changed to "main"?
Would have been a good idea to add that to the article for people not familiar with the reason. The reason is aimed at removing racially-charged language from software
Yep, spot on. I feel that it is weird for me that they are acknowledging this. Maybe people did not give much thought to do it and were not an issue.
Michelle Janosi There's nothing "racially charged" about the word "master".
Daniel Ziltener there is. Doing a little research on why will do wonders if you actually care about our black community
Michelle Janosi So you are trying to tell me "master" is offensive to black people? Why? Probably the next thing you're going to tell me that the world revolves around the US, and that slavery is an exclusively black problem? I hope you also bring this discussion to the local BDSM community, I am sure they're thrilled to stop using "master". Also, while you're at it, tell the Germans to stop using "master" as a term for someone who... wait for it... mastered his field of work and got a certificate for that.
Michelle Janosi of course, there's no reply to that... I hope this bullshit at least makes you feel good in some way.
