Hi,

Why choose "main" as a replacement for "master"?
It's the development branch, shouldn't we call it "development" or "dev"?

We give release branches meaningful names, so why give the development branch the not-so-meaningful name "main". From a user's perspective the "main" branch is whatever their version of Python is built from.

Cheers,
Mark.
