I would say, the message is quite the opposite.

I'm not an active member of the community, so please disregard my 
opinion if you will. But I think decisions like this should be based 
exclusively on technical grounds. Political or populist arguments are 
not valid for technical decisions, regardless how "good" or aligned with 
your personal views they might seem. That is, if you care about 
technical quality of your project and not just "fighting the good fight".
