That'd be one interpretation of what you read, but it isn't the only one. Nor is it the most friendly one, frankly. The truth is that we reevaluate this as much as other projects do (how else would a reasonable person react when he or she reads the discussions like those that happened recently on GCC and glibc lists?), we just conclude that the policy should not change, because the alternatives propose for the copyright assignment are worse than what we have.
