> I'm not opposed to it. I object to objecting to "master". The word itself has so many meanings unrelated to a particular period in the millenia through which the slave trade existed. My school had a headmaster. The UK judiciary has a "Master of the Rolls". "Master" does not imply "and slave"[1] I also object to "Main" as it isn't. Neither name accurately describes the "development" branch. Current "master" is in no sense the "master". Changes in "master" do not propagate into the released branches. I support changing the name to more accurately describe the branch as the development branch, and propose "dev" [1] As a small-case sub-note: This objection to "master" is US cultural imperialism, based on _your_ history. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
