Yes, it is.  I noticed a while ago and in a private mail notified
Serg Stoyan. 

Although I think that most people are aware of the policy of 
encoding format to my knowledge it is quite easy to be not
aware of it.
So to be fair, I think Serg just wasn't told and probably 
not aware of the policy. 

This episode points to some problems in how GNUstep is developed.
People writing code and bugfixes are not necessary people 
who are aware of all the intricatices and policies of GNUstep/OpenStep.
And in my opinion we do not want to scare away people who 
are willing to devote time to improving GNUstep but are not
old time NeXT steppers.  But I do not have a clear idea
how to improve this situation.
