It of course opens a different can of worms ;-) Even though we can
please master-slave-haters by moving away from the particular word
'master', those who cannot stand the very idea of one thing being
special among others will not be satisfied (and we shouldn't even
try to please them, IMO).

As somebody who does not like the idea of things being special,
I'm considering renaming "master" of the few projects I maintain
to "unofficial".  It fits my anti-centralization and
anti-authoritarian mind, at least :>

We probably can teach "fmt-merge-msg" (which is what helps "git
merge" to special case the message for merges into the primary
branch) and "fast-export --anonymize" to honor some special value
for the configuration variable (core.primaryBranchName???) so that
they treat that NO branch is primary/special.  

Perhaps an empty string would serve the purpose.
