Hi Terry, this is happening in many places - for example, see https://sfconservancy.org/news/2020/jun/23/gitbranchname/ https://github.com/github/renaming tl;dr ‘master’ has unpleasant connotations for many, so it’s being changed in many places/many projects. best, —titus _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/GDAUZKYB6GP3A3ZGBSQ4KQ7R6QFIZHZC/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
