Who controls glibc?

Well, if I had read that text in the manual, I wouldn't have interpreted it as a joke in the first place. I admit still don't understand it (or understand why it is supposed to be funny), I guess I'm just a bit "out of the loop" with respect to US-American politics or something.

Point is, there are probably people who might be confused by that sentence, so IMHO it is a good thing that it has been removed, if only for all the non-US people who don't "get" the joke...
