[VOTE] Switch 'master' to 'main' branch for repositories

[Fernando Frediani]

Good points Imre.
 From my point of view this change is unnecessary as it doesn't bring 
any technical merit to it and only political motivation.

The argument that others have changed so we have to change as well is 
often used in similar scenarios but for me is not a valid argument 
simply because we need to analyze why others have changed. If they have 
changed simply due to "political correctness" they have mistaken and we 
should not follow in that direction, even if they are many. It is not 
because several others are doing the wrong that other have to do as well.

 From strictly the technical point of view I don't see any harm or loss 
in staying as it is and not changing to the proposed.

Regards
Fernando
