summary
Working Group Naming forms in June 2020 to replace harmful terms across Kubernetes, using past fixes like petset → StatefulSet (2016) as a template and proposing master → control plane now. The group publishes a three‑tier evaluation framework (first/second/third order concerns), records choices as ADR documents, routes recommendations via mailing list and monthly meetings, and hands approved changes to SIGs and steering for implementation and deprecation when APIs are affected.
