There is another failure mode of the master cylinder - that is that
it starts sucking brake fluid into the booster through the rear seal,
and that happens with little warning until your rear reservoir is empty.

As far as REPLACING the master cylinder, that probably isn't necessary
but I would recommend HAVING a master cylinder if you have any trouble
at all finding parts where you are. And I would not recommend having the
mechanic get it for you because it will be a LOT more expensive.
