Research direction

Start with a GitHub code search for references to “master” and inspect where the repository name or branch is assumed by upstream users. Record whether renaming would cause compatibility problems; the issue is done only when the impact is understood and a migration decision is documented.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

low priority

I think we never did this because it might break upstream users. We should check if that would cause any problems (maybe with a github code search).
