I would like to rename the default branch from master
to develop
.
I notice there are 11 forks.
Would anyone be unduly negatively effected by this change?

Actually, I don't think the forks are much affected. People who have permissions to push/pull this repo are the ones who need to update their local repo (and that's not big deal). Forks keep the snapshot of the repo at the time they forked. If they want to pull changes from here, specifying a branch name isn't much of an issue.
Also, the network graph shows that most of the forks are quite old / out of date.
I say, go for it!
