Apologizing in advance for the procedural remark, can I ask what's the point of 
discussing text in an already released document? If anyone is unhappy with 
that, they should just propose another draft that updates/obsoletes that 
document.

Also, at this point in time, there is no IETF policy or community consensus yet 
on the mandatory replacement of any term, so the decision on that stands with 
the authors of each document and ultimately with the group that needs to get to 
consensus on the document. Anyone is free to propose a new draft that uses 
"master/slave" or a new terminology document that specifies those terms for 
some use cases. Then, we will see if it ever gets consensus (I doubt so).

However, I also find it inappropriate that people that disagree with that 
change, generally for reasons of clarity and backwards-compatibility that have 
nothing to do with racism, are immediately accused of being insensitive or even 
sympathetic to racism (moreover, racism against a specific ethnicity in a 
specific country, even if some participants almost never met any person from 
that ethnicity and country in their whole life, let alone discriminated them). 
This also has to stop, as it does not lead to any useful discussion.
