It's 100% this. They basically produce vague guidelines such that only the core maintainers are allowed to use LLMs, under the guise of "well of course we understand the code" and no one else is. It's also completely unenforceable, how are they going to prove whether someone understands the code or not? Even if they show sufficient evidence/understanding the maintainers can simply sabotage them and accuse them of using an LLM to explain the code. No one wins here.
