#Twig does not have a "master" branch. Instead, it has a 1.x, 2.x, and 3.x branches. Works wonderfully. I propose to do the almost same for #Symfony by renaming the current "master" branch to "5.x". We will keep 5.1, 5.2, ... branches as we do maintenance on minor versions.

See github.com/symfony/symfon… for the issue discussing the matter.

Funny how some react to this. Nobody objected when I got rid of master for Twig for semantic reasons. Having something more descriptive is enough to make the change. Think of the master /slave debate as a starting point for the discussion, not as the main goal if you want.

You can't deny there is currently a discussion in the tech industry about the usage of master/slave/black/white words. Remember, naming things is one of the hardest thing in computing science. If using new words improve understanding a concept, why not doing it?

Please, read before commenting. Do your homework before starting a political war.

Also, tell me which version of Symfony you will get when checking out the master branch? Hint: depends on when you read the tweet. Now, tell me which version of Symfony you will get when checking out the 5.x branch.
