As part of a larger effort at providing a more formal governance

Looks reasonable to me.
That's because you are not seeing enough in the future.
and the future will certainly go this way rule #3137 violates rule #2169
you're right , i fork from now...

Hello Johan,
I'm sorry you view the adoption of a Code of Conduct as a slippery slope
leading to an endless set of rules and regulations. And to anyone else
feeling this way you have my sympathies as well.
In my view I see the project is at a turning point and as Adam recently
pointed out, the current situation is untenable and problematic.
On many occasions I have heard people vocalize their frustrations
regarding the inability to get anything done in a public venue. As a
relatively new member of this community I have often felt that way myself.
I have also seen individual community members try to single handily
address problematic behaviors by pointing them out in the hope that by
doing so, the problematic behaviors would cease.
Each time this occurred, the individual community members gave up in
frustration. In fact, in a most recent incident, the individual
community member characterized the remedial exercise as 'rolling a large
rock up the hill".
As a community, we shouldn't expect each individual community member to
have to fight this battle themselves, rather I think it should be done
collectively. The adoption of a sensible CoC helps to achieve that.
I am sure what everyone wants here is a supportive and inclusive work
environment where collectively we can do some really neat things.
But if the work environment is hostile or dysfunctional, and we as a
community ignore the issues by allowing the behavioral problems to
continue without any collective action, then it seems to me we are
effectively telling the community:
"Yes, we have some problems, just try ignore them the best you can and
not become discouraged and leave as a result of them".
Frankly I get enough of that in my day job. And I don't feel I should
have to deal with it while volunteering for an open source project.
In light of this, it's pretty clear we're not going to please everyone
no matter what direction the project takes. The community may loose
members either way.
Therefore, I see the adoption of a code of conduct as a sensible step
towards sound project governance, which will in the end produce a well
managed and supportive work environment for all community members.
I do hope you'll reconsider and remain with the community.
Best Regards,
Michael
