Yep, that's exactly what it smells like to me, no matter the
high-sounding rhetoric. It does seem to further my point about the
CoC /not/ addressing those of us who are merely users.   I particularly
like the part about tranparency:

From the, "Be collaborative," section of
http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct
"Our work should be done transparently and we should involve as many
interested parties as early as possible."

in view of this:

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 January 2010)
[foldoc]:

  transparent
  
     1. <jargon> Not visible, hidden; said of a system which
     functions in a manner not evident to the user.
