Bug Description
In the weeks since George Floyd was murdered, I've been seeing calls for developers to be more thoughtful about the terminology they use. Master/slave has oppressive connotations, and several other software communities have decided that it is an inappropriate metaphor. Evergreen uses it in one file: https:/
Primary/replica is a widely-used alternative. Primary/standby is another alternative with some Postgres flavor.
It's a small change, but I think it is overdue.
