>I just did. "Master" is not descriptive enough because it implies that a branch with this name carries some special status over all other branches, whereas in reality it doesn't.

No, you presented a contrived explanation. I wanted to see a real word case where someone had issues understanding it.


>Well, then nothing really changes then, does it?

Did you read what I said? I said it would be chaotic for everyone to deal with this change. It won't change anything for the people who WANT the change. They are just forcing everyone else to use what they want.


>Nobody should have to fix anything. If you already have an existing repository, then literally nothing changes for you.

Except git flow. And any software that deals with new git repositories being created. The world doesn't revolve around you.


>False. Efforts to remove the usage of "master" traces back over half a decade

There will always be people that adopt fringe ideologies. In the 1960 there were feminists that accused every single straight woman of being a gender traitor, for example. Yes, I said "literally no one", and that was hyperbole. I'm sorry if that went over your head so easily.
