As a follow-up from our previous conversation on this issue, I have already started a new branch named 'main' for my own future contributions (that name because it appears to be the trending alternative to 'master'), and for others who wish to use it as an alternative to the current 'master' branch. I intend to discontinue merging contributions (my own or others) to any 'master' branch owned by the Accumulo PMC.
In conjunction with that practice that I intend to follow, I would like to propose the following as a lazy vote (by that, I mean I'm just going to do it if nobody votes; if somebody objects, this turns into a majority vote): 1. Submit an INFRA ticket to change the default branch to 'main' for all our repos (I'll make sure one is created in each before then), and 2. Update all our PRs against 'master' to be based on 'main' instead, and 3. Delete the branch currently named 'master' (after the first two steps and ensuring 'main' contains all of its commits) This effectively results in a rename of our primary development branches. Upon completion of these steps, I would send an email reminder to update any forks or local clones. This vote will end after Thu 06 Aug 2020 12:00:00 PM UTC (Thu 06 Aug 2020 08:00:00 AM EDT / Thu 06 Aug 2020 05:00:00 AM PDT) Thanks, Christopher
