🐧 After OpenZFS removed the master/slave terminology, I wonder if the term "first class citizen" would be next?

Looking into it, the term was first coined by Christopher Strachey whose family has heritage of colonial administration. His paternal grandfather was Sir Richard Strachey who was a British soldier and Indian administrator during the colonial period.
This is obviously just an idea that I had but when I started learning programming, I did not get why refer to an object/function in programming jargon as "citizen". It felt like it was an out of place term to be used in the context of the programming world.
It feels like we can come up with a better terminology than a citizen system where we have to refer something as first/second/third class which in real world attributes to classism in society.
