That appears to be what the recently posted documents laid out.  It 
seems to me from those documents that the only time censorship would 
come into play would be when devs are _not_ expressing themselves 
professionally and courteously.  I didn't see anything that talked about 
or indicated "arbitrary restrictions" - the restrictions seemed clearly 
laid out for cases where devs are acting inappropriately.
