    Thanks!

    From first link:

    In 2014, the programming language Drupal replaced “master/slave” terminology with “primary/replica.”

    Says a bit about the writer’s understanding of the matter.

      Does the nomenclature matter that much? Why not primary vs literally anything else?

      ‘Master’ copies would just be original. They aren’t hard words to get around for the vast majority of the population.

        My bad, took something for granted. My issue is with Drupal being called a programming language. That’s like saying BMW is an aluminum smelter.
