OK, so I guess the argument is over, resolved by that resounding burst
of flatus. 

Let me give a hearty PUUUH-LEEEZE! to the assertion that just because
something is published on gnome.org, it's "part of the project's
documentation", and therefore the content reflects on the project as a
whole.  GNOME is a collaborative project full of people with different
perspectives, and the GNOME Summary is just one of them speaking up.
