I'm in favor of it, for what it's worth.

hi all,
Do you think we could make a push to make this happen after the 9.0.0
release goes out?
Thanks

Thank you Antoine for bringing up the engineering work that is

the previous discussion and creating the umbrella issue/breaking

I am happy to work on these subtasks to move the effort forward;
I’ll start with this subtask [1].

Subject: Re: Proposal: renaming the 'master' branch to 'main'
Good point Antoine, there is engineering work to be done to allow
this.
I've made an umbrella issue [1] and broke out a bunch of subtasks.
The idea
is to update our code (mostly CI stuff) to use the default branch,
whatever
it happens to be called, and then after that is done we will be
able to ask
INFRA to make the change. Those who are interested in seeing this
happen
can work on those subtasks, and we can check back once those are
done.
