Not directly.

* If I would need to provide another wording alternative as a concrete patch,
  I would have to wait until previously accepted changes would become available
  in a Linux development repository.

* So I would find it easier to agree on wording variants during our current
  development discussion from which you would present results as a subsequent patch.
