    Nobody even asked those who you consider minorities if they really want or need the master branches of the code repositories to be renamed to main branches.

    That’s admittedly a bit silly. But what about “master/slave” configurations of servers or app instances? It’s a bit more naked what the analogy is in those cases, and “main/standby” is arguably more informative anyway.

      I think engineers can figure out what terminology to use without the help of influencers and other bla-bla-blaers who are absolutely out of context and have an intellect of “GNU grep” level.

      There was recent news that the current US government removed the mention of someone(something?) just because the name was “<Something> Gay”

      The same level of stupidity.
