Just doing that would leave the commit message that says "change X", when we're now changing X, Y and Z. I.e. With the squash it changes from narrowly focusing on the pronoun question into a start of a general prose and style guide for our documentation.

Whatever anyone thinks about the proposed end-result I'd say that's a bit too much work to dump in Junio's lap.
