Actually I would say if this is confusing for them they may want to look for another career... This is about as trivial as things will get for a developer. I'm sure in their Google search they will see a few results that discuss the renaming of branches for this reason. :)

Let's say a person is new to open source, he/she searches google for tutorials about how he/she can contribute to open-source projects. All the tutorials will have the master mentioned. This will be really confusing for them.

Because nothing ever changes and we don't have any references to old and obsolete and failed-to-launch tech anywhere, amirite?
