Come on ! I have nothing to add to what Terry said:
https://bugs.python.org/msg324773

Now, the bug report is still pointing out some places in the code where
the master/slave terminology is misused, for _technical_ reasons. And
none of us should be blinded by the non-technical motive of the
bug-report. We should do what we have to do, and just let sink the rest
of it.

I couldn't care less as well. The meaning of words is given by the context.
