Trivial verbiage changes can have significant practical consequences.
If there is consensus around a trivial change, writing an I-D about it
and getting it published as an RFC should not be difficult.  If it takes
9 month to get that done, something else is broken.  I don't see how
specifying an alternative publication and consensus gathering path for
the Trust will avoid the same problem.
