<p dir="auto">If <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">stable</code> seems bad, is there another name we could use to avoid renaming? Like <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">maint</code> for "maintenance"?</p>
<p dir="auto">I don't love <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">maint</code>, because it's too close to <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">main</code>, and it seems like <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">main</code> has an edge in familiarity if not in meaningfulness.</p>
<p dir="auto"><code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">legacy</code>?</p>
<p dir="auto">Unless we can come up with something better than <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">stable</code>, it seems like the least-worst alternative. But there's all week to come up with something better!</p>

</blockquote><p dir="auto">OK, but once you name something "stable", can you change it very much? What<br>
happens when the development branch contains something that is stable enough<br>
to call stable again? If you intend this branch to be the 3.3 release series<br>
then using numbers in the name might be preferable.<br>

the `master` branch to either `main` or `dev`. Any preferences?</p>
</blockquote><p dir="auto">I suggest calling it main like many other projects, unless you intend to do<br>
all development on a non-default branch and use main for something else.<br>
Using the same name as other projects makes it easier to find it.<br>
