You are right. I do not have preference either way myself what to put in this document. However, the change stops recommending rsync://, which is something I prefer to keep. The reason for the change from public machine to master already got an objection from Jeff. The reasoning was because I understand that Linus pulls from master to avoid mirroring lags (and he publicly stated he does so number of times), and the workflow recommended for subsystem maintainers, the primary audience of this document, should not slow them down by pulling from public machines.
