It sounds way less offensive to those who decry the original terminology’s problematic roots but still keeps its meaning intact.

    Parent/child is probably a better way to describe this kind of relationship.

    Not quite as child presumes a ultimate reliance on a parent.

    In master/slave (harddrive configurations) you can promote EITHER drive to master and use the other as slave. It doesn’t matter which is master. Just that they both configured correctly in regards to the other.

    Parent/Child doesn’t really accommodate for that quirk.
