<p>I am quite left wing, and even i find this silly.<br>
I still call my son Master William. I like to believe he is a
master of his own destiny.<br>

I have no problem with the change (don't use git anyway), but
| Because the word "master" has negative connotations in English,
No, it doesn't. The issue is more that no-one wants to work on
any of the real issues, which are hard, but changing the words people
use is (or can be) relatively easy, so it is attractive to do that,
rather than anything hard, and one can claim to have made progress,
when absolutely nothing that matters has changed.
