I've said before; I don't mind the master->main rename in essence because I think "main" is a better fit if it were to be picked today. Is it worth the hassle?

I've said before; I don't mind the master->main rename in essence because I think "main" is a better fit if it were to be picked today. Is it worth the hassle? Probably not, but we're past that now. But Github went way too far by aggressively pushing devs to rename their own local master branches to main. This caught me by surprise and I almost accidentally renamed the branch of one of my previous clients. https://twitter.com/Adys/status/1354468440753508355 https://twitter.com/Adys/status/1354468440753508355 Really, really gross.

What in the hell is wrong with them?! As a Github user of more than 10 years I never read those instructions any more so didn't notice this. It's still there! They are insidiously instructing inexperienced developers to modify their own repositories for no reason other than earning imaginary "not racist" bonus points. Horrible behaviour and a total abuse of power.
