Hi Luis.

  1. As you stated yourself "Force of habit" is not a real argument. "We have always done it that way" is killing every healthy discussion at its core.

  2. Just because nobody is referring to slavery while using the term master in the context of git, doesn't make the origin of the word disappear. If you ask me, I will happily do this change if more people will feel more comfortable and welcome.

  3. in my opinion, we should be able to do smaller changes like this while we tackle the big issues in other places.
