Thank you for discovering this, and creating awareness around it.
Seems like a genuine miss, contrary to what the comments here would have one believe, given that the compose file (and rest of the docs) were mostly derived from whatever worked for the developers themselves.

You might be right. I looked at the history and the way it came in, and it’s not as wildly anomalous to the rest of the file when looked at in context. Maybe it’s just a mistake.

When it comes to tankies/rightwing/etc/etc I always assume a Reverse Hanlons Razor. Never attribute to stupidity what can be adequately explained by malice.

if it was inadvertent you’d think someone at the receiving address would have spoken up…

Well, part of the price I pay for being a consistent dickhead is that sometimes people aren’t enthused to respond to me. I get why they wouldn’t really want to respond here and get yelled at, whether or not it was malicious, and instead just fix it and go on.
In my opinion it would be a healthier way to go about things if they were willing to meet criticism head-on, but the pro-authoritarianism position they’ve staked out for themselves is so widely and bitterly unpopular that I think that ship has sailed and they’re unlikely to engage with most of the free-speaking world at this point, because it would just be a torrent of abuse and mockery and so what would even be gained by it.
