One week from today, or sometime soon after, the repos/releng/release default branch will be renamed from “master” to “main” [0][1].

We will send notification when we complete the renaming.

If you use this repository, please make sure to change branches after the renaming has been done [2].

Release Engineering will make any necessary changes to support this rename, but if you have concerns about something that might be affected by this change or overlooked, please do notify us.

Phab task for reference: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T329770

Thank you for your vigilance!
