Comment (by joedolson):

 I'm inclined to agree with @audrasjb. Practically, I think that the text
 change doesn't add much, and isn't more concise, despite that being the
 intention. Making the text change would introduce extra labor for
 translators, and I don't think the payoff is that great.

 Adding the icon, however, is something we should do. That will still
 impact translators, but the labor involved to make the change is minimal.
