Master/slave describes the relationship between the services and has been standard terminology for decades. It's pretty "lame" to push established projects to make confusing terminology changes to address whatever words the "peanut gallery" is upset about this week. I have yet to hear of any IRL victims of slavery that are miffed by the use of this terminology.

Do not be offended on someone else's behalf.
