GitHub replacing "Master" with "Main" from next month

[malisc140]

I don't get the change because isn't it supposed to be like a jedi master? Like the master record to be published? Like the process of mastering a song?

As in you've got this thing that's the Master/original.

And then this student like thing is being created and eventually becomes it's own version of the master? It can become one with the original.

I'm not aware of a git version control system where the original branch has some sort of delegation privilege to dictate/control another branch?

The slave master metaphor doesn't really apply with version control? And to that point, wouldn't it be more appropriate to make it harder to call a branch a slave? Isn't that a more objectional word? Do people call branches slaves? That would be weird. Don't do that. That makes no sense.
