I am pretty much **existing** Git user where I am maintaining few repos
yet I am constantly creating new ones for another projects of mine. Such
abrupt change in the default branch name, without any warning, would be
very confusing for me. Not every user is working on a single Git repo
for their whole life.

I feel that our view on who is **new** or **existing** user differs.
