Thank you for bringing this up.

We are moving away from using non-inclusive technical terminology and 
are removing non-inclusive language from our products and related 
collateral.  You will for some time find examples of non-inclusive 
language, especially in our older products as we work to make these 
changes and align with industry standards.  For new IP we're ensuring 
that we switch and stick to inclusive terminology, as you may have seen 
with my recent w1 driver submission.

SelectMAP is a decades-old interface and as such it is unlikely that we 
will update this in all documentation dating back this time.  I shall 
however look to understand what is planned here for active documentation 
and new driver submissions.

regards
Kris
