They spend a lot of time doing crap and reinventing the wheel for 5 users in their app circle (Gnome Maps, Boxes, and the likes), while they can't handle a bit of adaptability because of a supposed "burden maintenance". Just reuse those devs to improve the flexibility of Gnome, which is close to nothing. They don't look very consistent and end up having little credibility even within their own users. I believe they are one of the few projects I know of in which its own users are so distraught and critical of it.
If Red Hat ever opens up on other companies for Gnome design (not for development tasks only), this would probably have been there 5 years ago already. Others are usually more efficient and open.
Nothing to do with the metaphor. Zero, nought, nada, rien, nichts, nieks.
