if adding a feature is a corporate agenda because a company is interested in it 
working correctly, you are shutting down all development.

Some amount of cross posting is very reasonable. In this case, they are talking 
about what developers are going to go to this event to coordinate their 
development work. If they were talking about what CxO folks they were getting 
together it would be less relevant (but I'll point out that LEDE doesn't have 
any list to coordinate management/publicity/etc stuff, so it may very well end 
up here anyway)

If this was a non-profit organizing a similar meeting would you be telling them 
to go away, that their contributions are not wanted?

There is more to development than just [PATCH] e-mails.

In this case there are multiple people/companies have code that they are 
releasing and looking to get integrated, and they want to coordinate instead of 
fighting each other. This is generally considered a good thing.

Driving people away because they aren't helping in exactly the way that you 
consider ideal is a good way to kill a project.
