I'm still confused why the name needs to be changed.  It's a branch
upon which (nearly) all other branches are based, and rebased.  Why is
'master' such a horrible name for it?  There are no negative
connotations with a branch name.  Anyone who reads more into it, the
problem is on them and them alone.
