One reason for that is I'm trying to find some technical goals you guys 
have , thinking back to older discussions.

Okay, sure. But going back to Eli's point, the development activity of 
individual projects is determined by individual project's members, and 
is rarely affected by the actions of the leadership.

Now, if people wanted to promote the GNU project more, make it 
better-known and approachable, that's a good thing, of course. But 
promotion is hardly something that can be a part of our "values".

And it's a more difficult endeavor (think Mozilla-type initiatives) than 
just releasing a document saying "hi all we don't discriminate and 
accept everyone", which is basically stating the already obvious.
