I know this is controversial, and nobody asked for it (yet). Still, I went ahead and unilaterally made the change, to avoid more pain in the future.
This issue is just to notify everyone, please adjust your local environments accordingly:
git branch -m master main
git fetch origin
git branch -u origin/main main
Regardless of whether I like this or not, (1) it's a debate that is not going away, and it will hit every project sooner or later, and (2) I will keep doing things I consider are important and impactful to make the tech industry and the open source universe more welcoming to others, as I've been doing for almost a decade now, and encourage others to do the same.
The open source universe has a diversity, inclusion and representation problem, and we have the moral obligation to fix it. This is just a baby step in that direction. The battle doesn't end here.
