I think, there's a difference between GNOME and your examples: Apple
and Wolfram are organizations. They can make a decision and force
sub-site maintainers to follow the decision.

We lack such an organization: Everybody forks the design whenever it
seems fit.

It's probably easier for our visitors to have 'outside' links clearly
marked as such. Let's just declare pages such as GUADEC as external
when linking them from the main pages. Every sub-site maintainer is
then free to use whatever seems useful.
