I think it's way too late to change that. If such a policy were desired, it 
should have been instituted long ago, before we asked Element to create the 
dedicated gnome.org Matrix instance for us. I guess hundreds of non-Foundation 
members have :gnome.org IDs already (would we disable these accounts?). We 
currently _strongly_ recommend these over using :matrix.org IDs due to serious 
performance issues with matrix.org. If we stop allowing new registrations, 
that's what everyone will use instead.

This isn't like email, where the domain implies some formal association with 
GNOME. I think nobody expects that your :gnome.org ID indicates anything more 
than choice of homeserver.
