In the context of OVSDB HA, we have been calling the ovsdb-server pair as active/backup. It would be nice if we can avoid using another term "master". I have no strong preference for "active", just want to avoid using another term. It seems that if demote_ovssb() is followed by restart_ovsdb(), the role switching won't be respected. true?
