As a programmer that has sometimes contributed to the kernel but on rare occasion was pummeled for some stupid political reason (usually people trying to keep control of their tiny castles*), I can see at least some of these changes being welcome. However, in general I feel this is mostly more millennial dumbass SJW crap that is only making things worse.
*This type of stuff will only hinder progress because it hands power to the "board" and trust me, these idiots have nothing to your benefit in mind. All they care about is maintaining their little "castle of power." These people are, or will become, "grumpy old men." These people care about nothing other than their own power and control. Those are never the people you want in charge of policy.
The code of conduct is simply things we have tried before. The ARRL (ham radio) no longer represents the individuals. The AMA (Academy of Model Aerodynamics) no longer represents R/C pilots. Etc, etc... Rinse, repeat. It is the same thing over and over.
