I'm strongly against change master to main , just because master suggest that is a racist word as master/slave, is like change chess and play not with black and white pieces but maybe with green and blue . This change will deprecate all I.T. books since Turing machine and it will be just a big a mess, first because we don't have a unanimous name, so here it will be main, in other place will be devel etc etc it will be a big confusion And I don't see any benefit, words will always be words and their meaning is given by the context.
