No, he doesn't.
He just proposes to remove the English name from the name=* tag in
countries where English is neither an official language nor a common
(but non-official) language. name:en=*, int_name=* etc. will be left
untouched.

Sometimes the developers of rendering styles discover errors in our
data. That's what happened with Sven who develops a German branch of OSM
Carto which does a phonetic transcription of non-Latin scripts into Latin.
Best regards
Michael
PS I agree with Sven's proposal as long as he acts carefully.
