Just to be clear, which of the two options are you advocating: (a) Rename "master" immediately to "main" or (b) When "master" is frozen for the 2.32 release we rename to "main" along with creating "release/2.32/main" and publish the new branch names to be used by developers when development reopens. -- Cheers, Carlos.
