Well, he did used irony or sarcasm, if your prefer. However the meaning
of it in the context of conversation was clearly directed to some
DECISIONS made by whoever was responcible for them. But he defenitely did
not touch any personalities in particular.
And I cannot see in his comment anything about anybody's in particular
background
They are suggesting all gnome designers are bad in this regard, exactly.
It's a generalization and is not about a specific idea (to criticize).

It is sarcasm at the expense of other people (again, not about ideas, but
