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

      most things in life make very little sense, have you ever thought about land rights?

      It makes sense because “master copy” is the name of the “official” version of something. Nothing to do with slavery by the way.

        It’s already not the master copy if you have release branches or tags, but it is the “main” branch 🤪

        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

      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)
