"... can be invalidated... "

Please use passive voice in your text: no "we" or "I", etc,
and describe your changes in imperative mood.

Bottom line is: personal pronouns are ambiguous in text, especially with
so many parties/companies/etc developing the kernel so let's avoid them
please.

Please check all your text.
