This is the last gasp by blockstream who has sought to control the github repository and heavily censor /r/bitcoin to fit their narrative. They've done everything they can to restrict the throughput of bitcoin to 1MB per block so that their off chain solutions are seen as a neccesity. They pitched to VCs as 'invest in the company that controls bitcoin'.
With this, they will start to lose control of bitcoin, thus their company will be even more worthless than it already is. They have spent all their energy on propaganda campaigns and censorship to restrict bitcoin scaling, which has always been technically trivial. Bitcoin.org is controlled by the same people and should not be taken as any sort of an authority.

Not sure if many people here are aware, but r/Bitcoin mod Theymos and others in the Core/Blockstream circle proposed and supported editing Satoshi's bitcoin whitepaper[1].
They did this under the reasoning that they control the bitcoin.org domain where it has been historical hosted and want to treat it as a living document. Obviously people didn't like this but the issue has not been resolved, it was only put "On Hold."
