As a GNU Developer for the community I OK'd the patch.
As a GNU Developer I answer to the GNU Project.
I also apologize for not contacting you directly.
This does not change my position on the joke and it's relation to
abortion and censorship.
A large group of developers, serious senior developers, at least 3
project stewards (GNU Developers for the project), are indicating
that they do not share your same view on the joke. Please consider
their input and work with me to reach a consensus position.
The underlying notions that the joke tries to express are important
and I am more than willing to engage with you and Alex to write
new text and put it back into the manual to meet our needs to
express a viewpoint on censorship.
Let me propose another the following patch for discussion. It is
*not* a @cartouche, and will therefore be visible in all of our
info and html files (which is better IMO).
