At risk of throwing gasoline on a fire, I'm going to chime in here:

The latter does not imply the former -- these two statements have vastly
different scope.  The second statement implies that the Camino
developers should not add several additional preference panes to control
what color and style of socks the browser will assume I'm wearing while
reading the news.  The first statement implies that the Camino
developers should completely remove the font-related preferences, as the
developers would ordinarily choose an appropriate font during the
localization process, and therefore these settings are just needless
complication that no one uses.
