That's straight from the horse's mouth. The thread you linked to is pure conjecture.
- pininja 6y agoThere is also a thread above with source links of him saying "it's not unlikely at all" it was influenced by Bitkeeper and he's "wished many times" he picked main instead.
- wayneftw 6y agoThe answer to the direct question of "What was it [master] meant to convey?" was '"master" as in e.g. "master recording".' There's no "likeliness" or "influence" in that direct answer. That's pretty straightforward. The fact that he "wished many times" he picked main instead has no bearing or relevance on why "master" was chosen.
