This is an option. But I suspect what on first blush looks like the
easier approach may actually create more headaches.

What would be the problem if we simply did as I suggest: a quick
search-and-replace on all github csl repos?

So long as implementations update their locales files, things would
continue to "just work" without interruption.

If styles themselves include the term, they'd need to be updated. But
as I said, there's only *one* style (that we control) that fits that
scenario. Even if a style did need to be updated but wasn't, the
impact on output would be trivial (in the case of this style, there'd
be a single, extra period).
