The Jenkins community is continuing its process of replacing offensive terminology with clearer and more accurate terminology. The term "slave" was deprecated in 2016 to be replaced by "agent".
This poll solicits your preferences for the replacement term for "master" as a word or phrase to describe the Jenkins application that provides the web user interface and distributes work to agents.
