So here's a question, particularly for POCs. Is "master" a problematic word when not juxtaposed with "slave"? My guess is not, because the word has a much broader meaning in English, but I'd like to hear your thoughts.

git's use of `master` has questionable etymology: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2019-May/msg00066.html …
That's... unfortunate. I guess then the next question is whether a convoluted but largely unknown etymology overrides a probably more common modern interpretation (given that slaves were never a thing in git). Again, I'm unqualified to opine...
