Replying to @kianryan
I prefer to use the terms "manager" and "worker" or "controller" and "worker" "primary" and "secondary", or "original" and "replica"

In general it's possible to come up with a pair of terms which more correctly describe the relationship between systems, without using potentially contentious labels.
I see your point. I fear that we're likely to be in a bit of a churn on terminology until the zeitgeist settles again. Until then we'll have to apply a small amount more mental effort (annoying, but not the end of the world) :-)

There may be a way to accelerate movement towards consensus, but if there is, I don't know it. I expect that at some point a large project overseeing many pieces of software will select some terms which will then, by osmosis, become de-facto. Just like Git did.
