Whether or not any patch would be accepted, the damage is already done.
From now on, people will judge you if you dare to use the name
"master" anywhere
and this is incredibly sad. These people are literally bullying us into
submission in the name of political correctness where no harm was actually
done.

This sickens me.
I guess their next move might be to force sound engineers to rename
master channel and derived term "mastering" into something more
politically correct.
There is even better target:

$ cd src/linux
$ find . -name '*.[ch]' | xargs grep -i '(master)\|(slave)' | wc -l
40506

... and then they'll finally be on the right track to win the war
against it.
