There have already been discussions going on for some time, but nothing
concrete has been decided yet. Let's get this sorted out.
I want to rename the branches as follows:
`master` -> `3.x`
`release-2.x` -> `2.x`
I know Piotr is concerned about ordering in GitHub (that is, `3.x` should
appear at

I am fine with both `3.x` and `main`. Some people have a problem with
`master` and we don't have any problems with `main` or `3.x` so let's
rename
Given we create a major release once a decade, I doubt if we need a `main`.
In 2043, we can fork `4.x` from `3.x`.
Do you think there is a certain advantage of keeping `main` around?

Having both master and 3.x is confusing IMO unless I missed something. For
my money I'd keep it simple with either:
- master and 2.x
- 2.x and 3.x
I don't care for the out of context presentism of main.

I’ve said this previously. I am not in favor of having a 3.x branch until we
need to start work on 4.x. master/main should be the main branch. It should
become the default once 3.0-anything is released.

Could you mind explaining your reasoning for keeping a `main` rather than
`3.x`? What does former offer that the latter falls short of?

I propose “trunk” because that’s what it used to be called when we were using
Subversion.
The issue with having a 3.x branch only matters if there is still another
master/main/trunk/whatever branch. While we can easily set whatever branch to
be the default branch, lacking a version-free branch
It is common convention to use main or master so it is obvious that is where
the “current” work happens. Look at Apache Tomcat. They have many release
branches but the most current is always main. Spring works that way too. Maven
is similar. I am sure I could find many more projects that do it

I’m fine with using main, too, given that’s the current default name used by
git and most git hosts.
