Hi, IMHO an smart stance to take in this topic is to focus on the actual impact in practice that this change has, and otherwise just do it if a reasonable amount of people and outside projects think there is a valid reason to do it - we don't need to understand if the reasons are fully valid or not, because that's hard to evaluate.
In practical terms, as long as someone takes care of fixing the technological part I don't see an issue, and I understand that you need to have some project as a test, so as long as this keeps to Geary only it seems ok to me. In terms of getting used to it, it's a matter of remembering just one more name. For making this change properly, I have some questions: - Is there a possibility to redirect master to any other name somehow? - If Git upstream documentation is not updated, can we hold an organization wide change until that happens? - Is there a way to "push to the main branch" that doesn't involve a name such as master or mainline? - Is there some consensus on the word replacement apart of the links Daniel provided? My feeling is that we should wait until there is a common replacement among projects outside of GNOME. Also, I think we should try to come with a name we are all comfortable and use only that one. A discourse topic or a different mail thread just for that would be helpful.
