Dear developers, In PromCon 2020, the Prometheus-team sent the following message:
In tech, we tend to take the view that politics should be kept out. This is wrong. Open Source is fundamentally a political movement, a movement to literally change society, to create equality and freedom. And not seeing the need to address all these concerns is a position which is coming from a fundamental misunderstanding of society; and of privilege Resist racism Resist facism Black lives matter This was true in 2020, it is still true in 2021, it will stay true in the future. GitHub has released the "branch renaming" feature in the last days, enabling repository owners to rename the branches, redirecting pull requests, etc. I'd like that as a project, we rename the "master" branch to "main" for all the Prometheus and Prometheus-community projects. This will be more work than just clicking the button on the UI as we will need an update on the CI. It will also impact people who rebuild the project downstream. If there is no objection, I will work on the exact details with the in-team CI team, and we will announce the plans and dates in this mailing list.
