"Institutional and systemic oppression within the F/OSS community" is definitely an attack. Oppression is unjust or cruel exercise of authority or power. It's not unjust to assign more value to more highly skilled labor however that skill was developed, just as it's not unjust to hang the Mona Lisa in the Louvre while excluding the work of young students who have not had the time and opportunity to become expert painters.
