It sounds way less offensive to those who decry the original terminology’s problematic roots but still keeps its meaning intact.

I insist on renaming main to master every time I create a repo on GitLab. Master forever, even if it doesn’t make much sense.
That makes no sense whatsoever.

It makes sense because “master copy” is the name of the “official” version of something. Nothing to do with slavery by the way.
But “Main” is more clear, and putting in extra effort to basically just piss off politically (over)correct people doesn’t make any sense, and is kinda weird tbh
It’s already not the master copy if you have release branches or tags, but it is the “main” branch 🤪
I don’t know about Scrollone, but I hate it when corporations force me to change for the sake of change. Options to change is fine (in case someone doesn’t like the default), of course.
And no, “inclusivity” is not the actual reason, as that’s already covered by adding the option to change (which again, is completely fine)
So you are not passively against progress, you are doing it actively.
Has very much “vinyl is better than modern media” vibes.
And I’m proud of it :)
