Follow-up from π± [Policy] Branch Naming: Use an 11.x branch for HEAD, then use 'main' when d.o can support it Fixed . https://www.drupal.org/about/core/blog/new-drupal-core-branching-scheme-... β has more of a write-up.
Drupal.org currently doesn't support having a 'main' branch since some logic is tied to version numbers, when it does, or when the relevant functionality is moved to gitlab, we should stop using 11.x as the development target and use main instead.
We're hoping this can happen before we need to open a '12.x' branch.
There are going to be core issues with having a non-numeric version too - we might have to solve that but setting Drupal::VERSION to the current major version target and updating that every so often (11, 12, 13 etc.)
The branching strategy would otherwise be the same as the current one with '11.x'.
