I did suggest a wording in that post:

become unreferenced."

Another one could be:

"Allows to reuse <branch-name>. Commits from the former branch could be
lost."


"lost" is perfect for me.

"could be" is a good replacement for "may". It much stronger points to "this may or may not be"

"could be"  should definitely be used.

Afaik many tech docs try to avoid "may", "can", "must not"....
