I usually try to work with change owners on clear wording,
I know. Many thanks for all your hard work.

For wording - Changes are *not* supposed to be read by general
public,
But we know the public reads them, as those that write websites, blogs
and sometimes even magazines articles will pick these things up --
especially in cases like this. Unclear words or statements thus could
lead to confusion or bad press.
Side note: "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well
enough."
it's internal planning tool and docs/marketing guys makes it
consumable
in the end.
Thus FESCo, ordinary developers like me (we get these change propose
mails for a reason) and docs/marketing should be able to properly
understand it -- which afaics to often is not the case :-/
But generally I agree - better wording, better understanding.
