We were carrying the org.openembedd.dev branch name from the monotone
era into the git era and the TSC was asked to consider renaming it to
'master' which is the git default for the main development tree. Now the
actual change on the server will be minor what is of a bigger concern
are the existing users and documentation.
Technically speaking I think we should have run an RFC for this before
it was brought to the table of the TSC.
Personally the org.openembedded.dev branch name does not bother me
although I know master is the 'standard' git name.
Afaik renaming does not really solve a problem.
Personally, I have to type it at least a few times a day, it gets old, and I
think its time we ditched monotone remnants where we're able to do so.
I'm with Chris. The name is long and annoying. It is time to drop the
monotone/bitkeeper remnants.

I am not too sure how much this affects the current users. Actually I
doubt if the change is bigger than the packages -> recipes renaming
Isse is that if we do that we should make sure all relevant
documentation is updated, otherwise we only create confusion (which
might still creep up as people use old mailing list articles).
Considering this, I am in favour of keeping things as they are.
If we implement this, I don't really see a problem doing it for the users:

support org.openembedded.dev will track master and remains
available for a limited but long amount of time.
