   http://antirez. com/news/122 (again, remove spaces in url) Nihil sub sole novum. Disagree with me, I'm going to call you a fascist even though your family suffered under the fascists. Protip: don't toss around the word nazis willy-nilly in countries that suffered under the Nazis (and yes, that includes Germany, plenty of Germans in the camps) and fascist in countries that suffered under fascism.

      Antirez' position on master-slave makes sense: it's first and foremost a poor choice of words because of technical reasons (other words convey the intended meaning better) but it's legacy now and the gains don't justify the effort to remove it. But in newer project it's better to use a more modern variant. Personally I wonder if the master-slave analogy ever really made sense, I mean even in the classic case of PATA peripherals the master didn't so much control the slave as that it had priority, so primary and secondary seem to be a better fit.
