Description

There has been a movement to rename "master" to "main", which is now the default for new repos on github. All dask-affiliated repos, for example, have done this (and so have s3fs, gcsfs, adlfs, since they were there). Intake-related repos have not (yet) done this.

Are people behind such a move?
