Words such as master, slave, blacklist, whitelist and others have deep racist history. Many OSS projects are removing it (golang, rustlang, python, etc).

Here's a note from github CEO - https://twitter.com/Una/status/1271180494944829441

Could you please help black community feel more comfortable by removing those words from the code and project?

PS - Historical context for main - https://www.nakasendoway.com/the-japanese-family-system/

Please consider alternatives such as canary, develop or edge.
