But the argument that a master branch would imply slavery was not convincing to me and many others. Why, then, is work in this direction apparently continuing? I think everyone is willing to go to reasonable lengths to avoid direct references to actual offensive terms. But there were many objections to this change. Some are practical and will persist even if the change does not cause errors (non-conformity to a reasonable default, learning/tutorials, ...). Another reason why a lot of us don't like this change, I think, is that we are also users of the English language and don't much appreciate being told how to think: Using the word 'inclusive' all the while steamrolling extremely specific and far-fetched ideas of some US movement upon a broad international community is frankly not a prime example of inclusiveness in my book. What distinguishes this from the direct 'slavery' case is that you actually need to point to a long list of meanings in the Dictionary, then pick and choose. This is outside the scope of 'going to reasonable lengths'. I nominate the simplest plan for 'moving forward'.
