Wow, and this is stated explicitly? Seems like cutting off the nose to spite the face. I guess ideology is more important than code quality to the FSF. They have every right to do it, of course, but as an outsider it seems counter-productive

Witness the saga of ECGS -- people had to fork GCC because the FSF refused to take patches from the community.
The FSF's concern was to have employees maintaining (and controlling the development of) the software and as far as they were concerned that was that.
