I see no evidence of this.

This is a reasoned response to the few perfectly good stubs that I've seen
listed for deletion, mostly only a few weeks after creation.  In general
the consensus seems to be against deletion of such stubs, even the tiny
and almost useless ones like Mahajana school, about which little of value
is known.

It seems from the quotes you have made that Jimbo was saying that we
probably shouldn't go around deleting perfectly good stubs about schools. 
I know of nobody who is suggesting that we accommodate a bot-runner
mechanically inserting large numbers of unwanted stubs of any kinds into
Wikipedia.

I may have misread your intent in the phrase "it seemed to be explicitly
excluding the extremes Tony (and various school inclusionists) are
suggesting." My apologies if that is so.
