It has been discussed to death on HN, what are you talking about?
Now for some notes on your comment:
- Gitlab has switched the name of the master branch too
- The point is not that it is harmful or bad to do so, and anyone actually crusading against this change as if it was some kind of a slippery slope leading to the downfall of their subculture or even civilization may want to think about their priorities and sense of hyperbole.
- This is not at all what the article complains about. The author argues that this is essentially a form of virtue signalling that allows essentially overpaid white engineers to pat themselves in the back without putting in actual work and money for diversity, inclusion, and equality; a symbolic change that is not rooted in materialism.

Not without getting downvoted to oblivion for the only reason which is having an opposing opinion.

Yes I have been made aware of that now.

I don't even understand this sentence.

So.. it's exactly what the article complains about?
