1. Can I replace master:slave with primary:secondary everywhere in the
code and the CLI? Are there any suggestions for more appropriate
terminology?
2. Is it okay to target the changes to a major release (release-9) and
*not* provide backward compatibility for the CLI?
code and the CLI? Are there any suggestions for more appropriate
terminology?

*not* provide backward compatibility for the CLI?

extensive rework. More so because we have these words being used in the
CLI itself. Two questions that I had were:
