Thanks for the update! Although possibly a minor inconvenience to some, I
am certainly of the belief that our choice in language has a subtle, yet
powerful effect on our perception of the world around us, so although some
may see it as needless, I think small changes such as "master" to "main"
are necessary; assuming we want to evolve beyond archaic standards and
become more inclusive over time.
