Yeah, I tried for a long time to stay away from terms like master and
slave ... but in the end people don't understand you if you talk about
origin and subscriber or replica. That's how this inconsistent
terminology slipped into my vocabulary.
I personally don't care about the particular values. I could live with
A, B, C, D. If people find 1, 0, N, R more explanatory, fine.
