Hi,

There is a movement to move the default branch from "master" to "main" or
"develop", because of two reasons:

- Many people around the world thought the word "master" has some ....
other meaning.
- the word "master" can not clearly describe the branch's purpose. As we
use the branch as our main working/developing branch, "main" or "develop"
may be better.

We had a discussion on private@ and I think it is time to start a vote in
public.

So, I'd like to call a formal vote for changing the default branch:

- [M] main
- [D] develop
- [K] Keep "master"

The vote will last at least 72 hours.
The name who gets the most votes (and >= 3 votes) wins.

Best,
