Maybe it's just me but, outside of tech contexts, I associate "master" and "slave" much more with bdsm than I do with actual slave ownership.

Maybe we can start using dom/sub instead of master/slave in tech.
As a bonus it's even shorter than "main" and probably whatever the new terminology is for subservient processes.
I'm down
git config --global init.defaultBranch dom
We already claimed it during the sub prime lending fiasco.
Dom/sub actually have negative history regarding women's rights.
