This is all wasted effort.
What amazes me is how often I hear patches getting rejected, not because they add anything worse, but because it isn't good enough to warrant the changes required to implement it and maintain it when they already have something that works.
But then this CoC gets added, and now it's almost back to what it was before.
So here is what I want to know: why did they make these changes in the beginning? Did they just want clarification on what is acceptable and what isn't? If it's the latter, then why did they add a bunch of ambiguous things in the new CoC?
My opinion: Take the old code of conduct (before the sjw one) and add a statement from Linus which provides a list of unacceptable behaviour. He can be held more accountable (I could be wrong but it seems like he is being targeted personally) and there would be less ambiguity.
