I am 100% in favor or dropping the master branch completely. I felt like it was 
always a source of confusion. Was it the most recent release or the latest 
version number. I know we have had issues with even correctly merging the 
latest version back into it sometimes. 

I really can’t see any reason for keeping it around.
