* master branch rename (Cloph)
   + https://redmine.documentfoundation.org/issues/3442
   + see mailing list thread at https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2021-March/087045.html
   + who says this is actually a good change? (Lubos)
     + how do we know this is a good change?
     + from a discussion in IRC after https://github.com/github/renaming,
       first discussed ESC-2021-01-14 (Heiko)
     + statement noone complained doesn’t say much – prolly not many affected     	 people in the community (which touches at the problem) (Thorsten)
       + broadly IT industry overwhelmingly male & white
   + discussing only ‘master’ name branch, not master/slave (Lubos)
     + so perhaps reason – why no reason, may be turned off.
     + some amount of guessing here.
   + how far do you want to go? (Michael M)
      + some concern around the slippery slope on-list
      + generally – lets follow industry here (Thorsten)
   + master for branches – debate is ongoing (Thorsten)
       + comes from bitkeeper arguably ?
         + discussion:
	      https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2019-May/msg00066.html
       + not convinced (Lubos)
          + blog saying don’t make silly token changes in liu of real change
          + if we decide it – perhaps its just a token change, not talking
       + bit of a guessing game then? (Thorsten)
    + main question - is there a harm if we change? (Thorsten)
       + there is always a cost, though not large (Michael M)
         + though supportive of the rename myself.
       + some costs paid already with list renames (Lubos)
         + that’s not major but more for master + bigger
         + concern about future taking of offence at ever smaller things.
         + moral licensing issue, following the trend
   + hear the concern re: endless stream of nonsense changes (Thorsten)
      + decidedly not what this is about
      + renaming the branch name is a small thing – don’t care much
        this way or another – feeling much stronger pwrt. actual master/slave.
      + in a way git branch name is a smaller issue.
      + society is always changing, we should not stay behind too much
      + we need to be friendly / welcoming & accept change
   + were concerns re: changing file format (Michael M)
     + can’t (Thorsten)
       + can’t change API, or ODF – which has master-pages there
         in a reasonable timeframe
       + it’s not the end of the world if the ESC passes for
         the moment.
       + changed German → English names in comments.
       + lots of changes cause other people work: net positive on balance
   + feel an over-estimate of gain, and under-estimate of cost (Lubos)
      + only direct feedback: its a token change.
      + git up-stream has not changed yet
      + git up-stream has to deal with tons of downstreams (Christian)
   + many have changes, and many have not (Lubos)
      + blog post: github – virtue signalling around ‘master’ branch
      + cheap / look-good virtue ?
   + if consensus on the RFC as a reasonable bound ? (Michael M)
      + perhaps helpful to stick to this.
   + didn’t realize git upstream didn’t change (Michael S)
      + tabled decision up-stream June/July – didn’t change (Thorsten)
   + are planning to change in version 3.0 (Aron)
      + decision has been made.
   + propose follow git with the rename in 3.0 ? (Michael M)
      + has no impact on the cost (Christian)
      + changes non-technical work we need to do (Lubos)
   + concern around vocabulary we can use in future (Olivier)
   + when does git 3.0 land ? (Christian)
     + “towards the end of the year” – from the thread (Miklos)
       + git make renaming a bit more smooth
       + also feature to have aliases for branches (Christian)
          + could we change it now with an alias ? (Michael)
             + unclear if gerrit supports it (Christian)
   + benefit is small, cost is small – leave it to infra (Michael S)
     + don’t mind (Christian)
      + 1st April might not be best re: timing for other reasons
      + don’t want to delay it indefinitely
      + not a big deal, don’t think it has a measurable impact
         + all about context cf. sauce naming dispute
         + who am I to judge
   + concerns on the mailing list (Michael M)
      + slightly skewed discussion on the list (Christian)
      + opposite is also true if not deciding to do it (Thorsten)
         + in this venue finding a sensible approach is good.
      + indeed, with people not here it’s harder.
   + there’s of course a clear limit on what we can do (Thorsten)
      + eg. master pages in file formats etc. need to stay
      + people not put off by well reasoned technical arguments
      + surely same for branch naming (Lubos)
         + slowly evolving deliberate industry trend (Thorsten)
            + not doing that now, sends a message.
            + do feel strongly about including changes that
              people make – and being positive about that.
   + ok with doing the change later ? (Christian)
      + not discussing some significant wider changes
      + renaming of the branch, just following other projects
      + eg. weblate just did this, not much outrage
      + so don’t think we need much more delay.
   + large vote – leads to more time-wasting (Michael S)
      + checked a number of projects, not changing (Lubos)
        + think desktop FLOSS is – KDE, GNOME, python – we’re late (Thorsten)
   + leading with core & submodules (Christian)
      + by raw numbers its pointless.
   + first time not the dinosaur that comes very late (Heiko)
      + master-document; ‘odm’ file-format (Miklos)
     + can change the UI, and documentation, can change it.
     + I’m pro.
     + lets limit to git branch rename for this decision (Miklos)
     + do-ers decide, just do it (Thorsten)
       + shouldn’t need to ask to permission to make a change
       + discuss in gerrit if conflict - discuss in ESC
     + better symbols – in the UI
       + a can of worms – but if we want to do a bold move do it here
   + do see the point not worth offending people on either side (Thorsten)
   => change when git does, if not before – re-visit in 3 months
      + consensus.
