Honestly don't know what you're getting at here. You're going to have to spell this one out to me.
> It's annoying and sigh-inducing to be reminded that such a movement is full of people that don't understand ... that "master" has plenty of perfectly good contexts
I don't disagree. See my comment about people engaging in performative outrage, it does exist. But in this case you're annoyed at the very sight of the word "main". Like ... c'mon
> Nobody is "really getting upset" and that entire part of your post is needlessly insulting.
Are you misunderstanding that "However if you're really getting upset ..." means "However you're truly getting upset ..." and not "You're getting really upset ..."? Additionally if you read my comment, I provide two interpretations:
1. they exclaim "WTF" when attacked for having named a branch "master" (IMO understandable)
2. they exclaim "WTF" at the very sight of a branch named "main" (IMO a bit silly)
I honestly don't know which is the right one. It is up to the commenter if they want to tell us which it is.
Update: and just like that this part of the thread has become the farce I feared it would, we are debating whether the words "main" and "really" are offensive. This is a very important thing to consider when answering the question "Why do new browsers use Chromium instead of Firefox as their base?"
