Should also check for use of master/slave |

This is a really important aspect about the standard. Most standards today, in my opinion, make use of strong language that doesn't translate well to other languages, terms that are no longer welcoming or inclusive and it's our responsibility to help be the change. Appreciate any effort by the community to make this better, so thank you up front. |

I think the important thing is that the effort to do this is not so bad. A little effort goes a long way in making the world a better place.
Whomever started this? Thank you!

Maybe I just live in this part of the world then I don't realize or feel this problem.. but this a bit too much in my opinion. What problems we solve with that change vs what problems we create with that change? I think we don't hurt anyone's feelings when the branch name is like it is default and used in entire industry. It makes it clear, understandable and usable. If it's not default, it creates overhead - "hey, where is your master branch, where should I send my pull request?" I don't want to open any political discussion here. |

It’s a small effort to acknowledge the institution racism from the US and world at large by changing this name. Slavery, US Jim Crowe laws, segregation, police brutality, etc.
Several terms in IT come from that era. Blacklisting as well as master-slave servers have a bad history.
So yea, be political. Change is in the air and we need to seize this moment.
Also please note, we are NOT asking for a call to action from anyone, we are simply changing a name to be a little better.
🤙🏼

So my suggestion would be to change "master" branch to "main" and I don't think this super complicated. https://www.hanselman.com/blog/EasilyRenameYourGitDefaultBranchFromMasterToMain.aspx I would however wait to make sure we are sure before doing this as it is a very major change |
Next task is to go through: https://developers.google.com/style/inclusive-documentation |

crazy, insane, blind, cripple, dumb Replaced native with built-in 49d63c5 I think that is everything for now... |
Placeholder to organise us to continue the changes which @danielcuthbert began in 23c983b to use language which is more inclusive.
