I echo Barry's earlier response.
To directly address individuals who object to renaming the branch: I
respect your opinion. As I weigh the benefits of keeping the status quo
with the benefits of changing, I see the change as a temporary
inconvenience to update the branch once in order to open the door to the
benefits of conforming to the new industry norm and the simplification that
brings to tooling configuration and user/contributor documentation.
Thanks.

Uh... Since you're putting "fun" in quotes, I assume this is quoting someone else? (who?)
It's not a quote, it's Irony punctuation (in this case, used to indicate sarcasm):
