I think it might be more fair to say that the Gnome camp has a bit of a higher plan for their interface guidelines than their own software. The KDE interface guidlines focus on development and integration of KDE software, where as Gnome's Human Interface Guidelines clearly have aspirations ( if not content ) focusing on how to create user interfaces in the free software environment that best serve users.

All that being said, there was undoubtedly a better way to craft the "invitation".

The paragraph was later updated to a less "aggressive" tone. Seth stated that he regrets the wording that went out initially and blames Canada for it.
