I think it was kind of odd that it transitioned from a motivational idea to
a "goal" on the wiki (without a lot of planning, discussion and adoption in
the greater comunity), but I don't think it should be removed. It is still a
relevant benchmark (despite the word "desktops") for the GNOME ecosystem at
large. Just this week it was discussed in relation to some of the things the
Board is doing at the moment.

It might make sense to clarify the language, but it's not like any of it can
be "unsaid". Taking it down would contribute to the potential ridicule.
