I didn't have any political agenda with this proposal at all. In fact my 
personal opinion is that I find some of the similarly-intended proposals 
for language changes in other bubbles on the internet to be rather 
questionable.

That said, some people in the project would like to see the branch name 
change and other things that have become mainstream to be implemented in 
OpenWrt as well.

My stance is that I don't mind the master -> main branch name change in 
any way, as long as the migration is done in a way that's not 
unnecessarily irritating.

When it comes to other language change proposals, I'm going to evaluate 
them on a case-by-case basis and then ACK/NACK them.
For example, if somebody would propose that we need to change 
'man-in-the-middle attack' to 'person-in-the-middle attack', I would 
definitely NACK it for being too ridiculous.
