quantitykind:Acceleration and quantitykind:LinearAcceleration are related by qudt:exactMatch. This is because we felt the "common" interpretation of acceleration is the linear variety. This is one example where we didn't want our vocab to be cumbersome to use by being too pedantic. (We talk about this in the wiki here). So I suggest we refer to both quantitykind:Acceleration and quantitykind:LinearAcceleration from the relevant units so that people will be sure to get what they need.

Would you mind updating all 11 (plus your new one) such units?
