Parent is referencing the Twitter blog post about changes in Version 1.1 of the API which stirred some controversy because of the new rules and limitations for 3rd party developers. See the link below:

I don't know of any similar limitations for Bootstrap, so you can probably safely assume that wickedchicken is kidding.

Most definitely a joke, though it took me a second to realize that myself.

It's a joke? I totally missed that! My perception for these things is rather obtuse, so thanks for pointing it out. I thought that perhaps the Twitter devs themselves had jumped the shark.

Oh damn got me too! I don't see a problem with enforcing design consistency rules however, probably why it flew over my head.
