It is very much "in-joke" kind of humor. I think that those who
understand it can find it and follow it on twitter or tumblr.
The planet is read by a much broad public. With that in mind, I do not
think this is a good choice for the planet.

It would be a dangerous source of misunderstanding, misinformation and
even alienation for those who are not "in the loop".

I support this because it is informative of current GNOME development.
It is not too long in its usual posts and is readable for casual
followers of the project as well as for developers.

That is what I think.
