    Downgrade description-synopsis-might-not-be-phrased-properly
    
    This devref recommendation has been very controversial over time.
    Downgrade it to minor, since it's really a stylistic debate, and fix
    the cross-reference to point to the devref discussion rather than Policy
    (which doesn't say anything about using a sentence or not).
