Do we need BiDir? Can't we just have multiple masters? A Master emits
his URLs to all other Masters & Slaves and listens to incoming URLs. A
Slave only listens to incoming requests and never emits requests. And
'None' does not listen to requests and does not emit requests.

We only need two icons for Master & Slave. I'll ask my personal icon
team for this >:-)
