Thanks for making us aware of this issue. I had no idea. Ken, maybe next time start with the links that explain what you're talking about rather than assuming we already know.

We can certainly rename our master branch to main, but I don't know if that would break any of our automation, and it would be good to figure that out and pre-empt it before making the change rather than learn about breakage after. And we do have quite a few repositories to consider.
