New Linux Code of Conduct Revisions: CoC Committee Added Plus Interpretation & Mediator

[BwackNinja]

What trap ? Is it desirable to look "inclusive" ? This "inclusive" stuff looks like it comes from Mounty Python's Life Of Brian. The "Man woman and hermaphrodite" passage at the end when Brian is on the cross.

They included a Code of Conduct at all (and the Contributor Covenant, no less), thus they want to appear inclusive. I'm not making judgments on the worth of inclusiveness, just noting what has been done.

As long as "Linux Kernel Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct Interpretation" do not mention anything about meritocracy, as a good thing from the first place, nothing can be done.
Actually whole construction of this Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct started by attacking meritocracy as a fundamental concept, because would have stood in the way of minorities.

Maybe it's the area and culture I grew up in, I didn't think people could have masculinity complexes this bad, but here I am reading this thread....

Don't worry, you're not alone. And this is coming from someone who spent 14 years in a Catholic boys school.

If you make a law and it needs 5 times bigger "Interpretation" document, that's alarming.

In Poland we have tax laws and the ministry of finances publishes interpretations. The worst thing that happens is, when they change the interpretation, it applies to past events.

Only a miner or cryptocurrency speculant would mention above. While I agree with the sentiment in general (and that law should never work backwards), I welcome the interpretation in question as it deters people from mining, which I consider as pure energy wasting.
This is offtopic however.

What better way to represent wealth than by overconsumption of energy right?
