Personally i do not care about the change in the default name of the main / master branch in git.
But i totally agree with you on the point that we should be able to differentiate such terms from their meaning in another context. I see how this can offend people but honestly the only thing we'll ever be able to do is change the labels on such things. We're assuming so many of those words to be a defacto standard in IT that they won't die anytime soon.
