+Like GNU Radio, this module uses *maint* branches for development.
 These branches are supposed to be used with the corresponding GNU Radio
 branches. This means: the *maint-3.7* branch is compatible with GNU Radio 3.7,
-*maint-3.8* is compatible with GNU Radio 3.8, and *master* is compatible with
-GNU Radio master, which tracks the development towards GNU Radio 3.9.
+*maint-3.8* is compatible with GNU Radio 3.8, etc.
