I see this as typical of organizations that value creating a more inclusive environment for their developers.

Also, for what it's worth, Jenkins changed their terminology to use "agent" instead of slave in 2020 [0]. These efforts might seem futile in isolation, but they add up over time.

An organization that cared more about inclusivity than compliance would have done more.

As of February 2016, references to "slave" in documentation began to be replaced with "agent": https://issues.jenkins.io/browse/JENKINS-27268

The comment I'd make is that this appears to have been settled nearly eight years ago in this particular context, and that maybe you should give it a rest.

It was "settled" in that we're all agreed it's obviously incredibly stupid but not worth fighting over and getting called racist.

The good news is that "master vs mainline" was so embarrassing that even the people who push this stuff realized they overreached and have settled down since.

You seem to misunderstand. My objections to the change are minimal. It is the incompleteness of the change that is remarkable.

I feel like I understand well enough, I feel you've misrepresented the magnitude of the issue.

Then you met with the Scrum Master to discuss planning?

I do not see justification in reworking our CI/CD, procedures, muscle memory, et. al. over contemporary politics.

Maybe if they spun up a new cluster with new hostnames it’d say that. It doesn’t.
