It's just general criticism of AA, on any OS. I'm not sure what's the
current status of the Helvetica ban in standard fontconfig, but Debian
used to have such a ban (and it's the last on list for 'Sans serif'),
and Fedora still has. Not just a bitmap ban, but a very specific
Helvetica ban. Lamers who do things like that (whoever they are), do
deserve very severe criticism.
