It doesn't help or hinder it; discussions about what changes to the
DFSG should be made or the nature of future discussions about those
changes are just totally out of its scope. (And in the latter case,
totally out of the scope of any GR.) [If it's too difficult to
separate considering what a text currently says versus considering
what one wishes it said, there's not much I can do to help.]

the grace of a sumo wrestler trying to kill a rattlesnake by sitting
on it--and is just as likely to succeed.
