I wanted to give an update on things that are going on related to conscious
language in the WildFly project.
First, for the WF 27 release we intend to move away from 'master / slave'
in user visible production code related to WildFly's domain mode. After
some good input today from Paul Ferraro, a Host Controller that is
configured to act as the Domain Controller will be referred to as the
'primary' instead of the 'master'; other Host Controllers will be
referred
to as 'secondary'.
The main effect of this would be the name of two of the standard config
files we ship:
host-master.xml -> host-primary.xml
host-slave.xml -> host-secondary.xml
The master/slave concept doesn't have a deep presence in the actual code or
user API, beyond the name of those 2 files. It's mostly something that
appears in docs.
Second, if anyone is blocking re what to do about whitelist/blacklist in WF
code, without objection I suggest we go with allowlist / blocklist, which
seems to be the most common choice for what to use.
Third, fyi that I've renamed the default branch in a couple repos related
to WildFly from 'master' to main:
https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly.github.io (source behind
docs.wildfly.org
)
https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly.org (source behind
wildfly.org)
If you have a local clone of these repositories, the steps to convert your
clone are:
git branch -m master main
git fetch origin
git branch -u origin/main main
git remote set-head origin -a
