I believe the suggestion was, with a change request that includes a
working code implementation, people are more likely to care.

It's not just a documentation change, e.g. the AUR and the archweb
website would need various code changes including renaming part of the
database schema, changing the search API, etc.

Do you know how much work it might take to change this? Do you know how
much API might potentially be broken by such a change?
