I've been refraining myself from commenting (specially with so many passionate voices on [1]), but I'm happy that this is happening. While I personally don't see anything offensive in 'master', I think it's worthwhile to try to accomodate more people in the community. As always, it's harder to identify what is bothering a particular group if you are not part of that group. Kudos to the community (and to you Taylor) for trying to move this topic forward in a constructive fashion. > My interpretation thus far is that 'main' is the planned replacement for > 'master'.

I'm not familiar with how formal consensus is built in this community, but take this as an explicit +1 from me. Cheers! -Santiago
