The meaning of the term is:

    If the specific description of a command says it "MUST NOT be
    pipelined", that command MUST end any pipeline of commands. That
    is, the client MUST NOT send any following command until receiving
    the CRLF at the end of the response from the command. The server
    MAY ignore any data received after the command and before the CRLF
    at the end of the response is sent to the client.

So I think the present text is fine.
