Gnumeric source code in particular should be kept as beautiful as
possible.  Because the Gnumeric code base is beautiful.

So if they contribute code that will keep it beautiful, and will allow
developers to keep working on the GNOME version without spending too
much time worried about Windows, then yes.  Because our first priority
is to make the best free spreadsheet for free systems.
