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

    It was changed a while ago, it’s primary and secondary now. It’s been that way for a decade+ at this point.

      Not every domain though. I still see master/slave in every relevant datasheets that I read, and I’ve never seen primary/secondary in newer datasheets.

        That’s interesting, because everything I run into now has primary/secondary or main and secondary. I’ve not seen master and slave for a good 5 years now, sure older stuff still carries it but most that new has swapped over.

          I should recheck newer datasheets, but I still see master/slave nomenclature in STM32 doc and tools for example.
