    There is definitely a risk in changing it. Many automation systems that assume there is a master branch needed to be changed. Something that’s trivial yes but changing a perfectly running system is always a potential risk.

    Also stuff like tutorials and documentation become outdated.

      If they can’t change what’s essentially a variable name without issues then should they be doing the job?

        pray tell me how would you change the name in every script of an automation system that refers to master? Remember, you have to justify the time and cost to your manager or director!
