Yes, this struck me as being a pretty absurd style of "leadership".

RMS even says (paraphrased) "I'm usually very hands-off, but THIS... THIS is where I draw the line" on a completely innocuous change which has absolutely no impact on the technical content of the manual.

(Not that this is remotely any sort of existential crisis for glibc as some have claimed.)
