Make the default wake-word of all ”official” Home Assistant voice hardware something other than ”Okay Nabu”?

I’m going with what Michael wrote in the voice sample thread in this comment:

" For those interested in making their own wake word, it is possible today with microWakeWord but requires a good GPU and expertise to tune it correctly."

“Does this just improve “Okay Nabu” or also future wake words?
For now, mostly just “Okay Nabu”. (…)”

You are right, I didn’t train etc a dedicated wake word yet, but with these being quotes from THE wake word guy in NC, it’s kind of hard to not see this as a priority on “hey nabu”. Again: I’m fully with you that own wake words are possible, but “hey nabu” is definitely being pushed and optimised on specifically.
