I like the " raise ImportError " a lot. I think that would be a very good
solution. The master branch could then be removed after a grace period of
half a year or so, and then the confusion is gone.
I think if " See https:... for more details " has a nice how-to, everybody
should be able to

Hi,
In general I agree about speech policing - but in this particular case
- 'main' is the default in Git now, it is becoming the standard
everywhere else - and it's a perfectly reasonable renaming - "main" is
a good word for the - er - main branch - at least as good as "master"
- semantically.
Perfect!!
This political correctness of the language, which has become a big issue in
my mother tongue, German, only serves to distract from the real problems.

that master must be understood (and therefore shunned) as half of
master-slave instead of half of master-apprentice or master-bachelor or
master-junior? Am I from now on forbidden to master a technique? Should I

I'm not opposed to doing this. Most other projects have also done it,
so it would be inline with that. It also has the advantage that "main"
is a much clearer term to newbies than "master".
But note that this is not a trivial thing to do, which is why it
hasn't happened yet. It's not as simple as
