Niels,

You could make anything work, but it would probably cause a lot
of pain and confusion.

In a master/slave situation the master tells the salve what to do,
and there is no way to discuss it. leader/follower does not bring the
same type of understanding over, I've worked for a lot of good leaders
(and some bad ones :) ), but part of what a good leader do, is to be
prepared to take the discussion e.g. when the follower don't want to
follow.

I'd say if we had a master/slave situation among humans it would be a
bad thing, if we have it among networking nodes, I don't particularly
care about the terminology.

The term master/slave is used when it is technically required that the instruction is executed without equivocation.

Would leader/follower (as implemented by Django) not work just as well?
It seems to work for them for quite a while already.

Best,

Niels
