A few possible names were mentioned/used. "mainline" was thought to
have strong connections to drug use, "release" (use in the contributor
covenant) seems to restrictive (we also do releases from other
branches). I like "main" because it keeps 2 letters from "master" so
diminishes the need to retrain your muscle memory. "trunk" definitely
makes sense when talking about branches but doesn't have the "ma<tab>"
advantage.
"main" seems like it should be safe, yet since you linked to
https://github.com/ContributorCovenant/contributor_covenant/issues/569
it seems fair to quote the second comment there:
"Main" suggests inequality, I'm against that.
So good luck finding an inoffensive name for the, er, primary branch.
(I probably shouldn't say "primary," though, since primacy also
suggests inequality....)
