    Context is pretty important when it comes to words with multiple definitions. I find it hard to interpret the “master branch” as anything but this definition. Now if you’re talking about PATA hard drives, I can understand updating the standard terminology there.

      Right, or the relationship between an i2c host and a connected device. A blanket ban that doesn’t consider context completely misses the entire point.
