My current POV on renaming branches is to not do it now or while we are trying to release 2.7.3. It's been a long road just to get where we are and adding yet another moving part is not going to help us release 2.7.3 sooner. Plus I don't need to spin my wheels updating scripts, and various bits and pieces I have laying around at this time.
For the future, my current recommendation is to replace Xalan with SaxonHE because writing transformations in XSLT 2 and 3 is IMO so much easier than using Xalan which is still stuck on 1. The future of Xalan-J from my POV is to provide bug fixes which includes security updates, or move to the attic. Anything more feels unproductive in the big picture for me. Even the talk a long time ago of supporting XPath 2 through Psychopath (the Eclipse codebase?) did not happen. Yes, it would be nice to have a full feature XSLT 3 engine at Xalan but that's a multiple person year project IMO. And from a user's POV, why? When I can use SaxonHE today. There might be some perceived value for some contributors of pitching in and getting associated with Xalan but I would encourage such folk to step back and look at the big picture.
