What light? Are you referring to when Eugenia was complaining because someone on a mailing list told her that volunteer developers will work on whatever they feel like?
What Eugenia was talking about were things that were essential for Gnome to get anywhere near Windows and Mac OS. They didn't want to talk about it then but they still feel they can carry themselves on a cushion of hot air.
I don't see how that position is any more relevant now, because some have aspirations for widespread acceptance of GNOME.
If you want to convince people to use Gnome over Windows and Mac OS you have to address the issues at hand, and you simply cannot go talking about getting people to adopt Gnome, or X or Y without it. Once you start talking about things in those terms then it's a different world.
That's an issue that needs to be solved, not just with Gnome, but many user-facing open source projects.
