You didn't hear the foaming at the mouth shouting to rename master recordings, master documents, or dub over The Master from Dr. Who.
Considering how much effort we had to out into fixing pipelines because of hardcoded scripts, and the lack of good reason to do it its no surprise that it was scoffed at. White keyboard warriors needed to make a change, but couldn't do anything meaningful as it would require actually doing something.
The issue has always been with the reasons invoked to make the change
Otherwise it would have been smoother

At least this change makes sense.

I thought the purpose of the rename was to encourage these contributions that apparently weren't happening because of the branch name?
It certainly helped GNOME whom was one of the biggest proponents /s

personally my default branch is called dominatrix, just to annoy the kind of person who argues about master
Do you call all your subsidiary branches “paypigs”?
mainster
ugh, half the repos at work use main and half use master. Such a pain.

Or the defaults changed, but you are free to lash out.
Nah, I genuinely think "main" is a better name overall (it's shorter and clearer). What does "master" mean in a DVCS anyway?
I'm generally in favor of DEI, btw, so you can lose me with your bigotry.
