No, it certainly isn't. And all I've been doing is expressing concern
about hierarchical organization creep resulting from such
proclamations becoming organizational dogma.

If the statements guide contributors and potential contributors along
the way that is all fine and good. If they become the justification
for stifling/impeding/whatever the work of folks who think outside
this box you define then I think it is bad.

Avoid that and I'm content. :)
