It was discussed at length between all interested maintainers, and the result has been formally codified here: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/kind-communication.html and the reasons why the particular words were chosen and why some were not are explained here: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2018-10/msg00001.html There is no intention to change this, so further discusssion is moot.
