I find the joke unfortunate *in that context* and I'd vote for removing it (if I had a vote). Even though I find the global gag rule abhorrent.
But the governance implications are the really concerning thing for me. Allowing RMS to come in and make calls over the actual maintainers' objections on random small things isn't healthy. I think there's cases where non-majority calls could be reasonable, but I utterly fail to see how that could be a case of hat. It's quite the pattern over time and projects too.
