Amazing that you don't understand that GCC and Gnome are profoundly political organizations.

They were always political but now they're engaging in politics orthogonal to their stated goal.

It is like code of conducts, prior people on both sides could work together. By picking a side on an issue that has nothing to do with a given project you alienate half of your potential developers. Nothing about developing an open-source compiler implies anything but developing an open-source compiler.
