   change the default branch to v2-main or something similar.

   I'd like to clarify that in mind this sentence is "change the current default branch (i.e.master) to v2-something".

   Basically, there are three calls for objections (and/or requests for alternatives):

   1. Objections to renaming master to main on zarr-python per Switch master branches to main community#44?
   2. Objections to creating separate "stable" and "dev" branches? (Naming to be worked out)
   3. Objections to making the "dev" branch the default in order to drive the v3 work?

   Feedback from today's call:

   • There's no real concern with getting Implement Zarr V3 protocol zarr-python#898 merged.
   • The driving issue here is that the stability of v3 is a bit in question due to Add Sharding v1.0 Spec & Storage Transformers to Zarr v3.0 zarr-specs#134.
   • However, there is some concern about the overhead of maintaining two branches.
   • @jbms suggests the alternative of a feature toggle (e.g. by preventing the import of the v3 classes unless a variable is set)

   Thoughts still welcome. 898 at least is unblocked, and a decision on this issue will only need to be made when the time for 2.11.2 comes.

   Sorry for missing the call. Was out sick most of the week.

   Sounds like the branch versioning issue is less pressing.

   In case there is still a need for branch versioning, would suggest we consider an approach where the non-latest major version branch is broken out (v2) and main points to the latest major version.
