I don’t think that is reasonable. The RFC editors may fix some sentence of explanatory text that is using some phrase that is loaded with baggage. But an importnat part of a document is the terminology that it defines. If a document defines something that is a “controller” or a “master” and something else that is a “function” or a “slave” or a “supplicant”, then this terminology is later going to be used in code, in product documentation, even in future university courses. it’s not reasonalbe to expect the editor to come up with a different terminology. Drafts should arrive at the RFC editor being mostly ready for publication. Changing terminology should send a document back to the WG. Yoav
