I don't feel very embarrassed. Your suggested alternative name, "main," 
is clearly considered to be offensive by at least one of the very same 
people who don't like "master," and who amazingly appears to be sincere 
about this, so does it really still seem like a good option? We're not 
going to accomplish much if we replace one apparently-offensive branch 
name with another.

Keep trying... eventually we'll find something that is inoffensive. I 
don't think anybody has complained about "trunk" yet. At least I don't 
think elephants will be contributing to GNOME anytime soon.
