Please keep the tone on the list civil. If you want to disagree, fine,
but "you lie" is inflammatory and unconstructive.

In general, also please keep in mind whether any comments are adding
value to the discussion. In particular:

  - the text you are responding to isn't even Jonathan's; it was a
    quoted commit message to give context.

  - his point is unchanged by whether you agree with "many" in the
    original or not. Focusing on that is just derailing the
    conversation.

  - if you really do want re-open the argument about whether projects
    are interested in changing branch names, it might help to provide
    some actual data. Most of the data-less points (on both sides) have
    already been made in past discussions.
