What? If there’s an actual standard, it will stop scripts from breaking, because the assumption that master is the main branch will always be true.

And yet not everyone used to use master, so scripts kept breaking for no good reason.

Either make it a standard, or stop assuming it’s a standard. De-facto isn’t good enough.

I like it, because it forced people not to assume master is the main branch. If something is common enough to almost be a standard, but it’s not actually a standard, it’s just waiting for disaster.

These assumptions cause unnecessary breakage, but people will make them unless forced not to.
