The latest version from kernel.org still uses master. It's certainly possible for distro maintainers to change it on the versions they package though.

Yeah, seems like I'm wrong. I looked up the docs on git-scm.com and it says that the default branch name is "currently master, but this is subject to change in the future". Maybe GitHub threw me off.
