Thanks for posting this. You may have noticed that the move to rename 'master' in Git has been causing something of a heated debate; so you deserve massive respect for doing this given the current backlash from some quarters.

If I'm honest I can't say that I'm not confused by the issue the word causes when used in isolation; but I'm white/male/privileged and European; so it really isn't my call...
