There was nothing uncivil or personal about it.

It was a statement of fact. Other GNU projects, like Git and Wget,
recognize the poor advice and disregard it; and get things right on
their own accord. As such, Git and Wget has higher standards then GNU
itself and many of GNU's sister projects. Or, GNU has lower standards
then many other contemporary projects.

To fix this problem you need to fix GNU itself. They need new blood in
leadership that understands and embraces modern engineering processes.
The 1980's advice has outlived its usefulness.
