The Contributor Covenant 1.x and 2.x are very different in that 2.x also
includes conflict resolution. Unlike the code of conduct, the consequences
of bad behavior are hard to generalize across multiple projects, so I would
prefer anyway the 1.x version. The differences with the Django CoC aren't
substantial.

However this does mean being more careful about the language in the
"custom" documents such as the conflict resolution policy.

This however has the same issues as the "or later" clause of the GPL (see
the above example of 1.x vs 2.x for the Contributor Covenant). I don't
think upgrade of the CoC should be automatic since there are no
"compatibility" issues.

Agreed!

I agree with Daniel that this part should only be advisory. For example:

If you are experiencing conflict, please consider first addressing the
perceived  conflict directly with other involved parties, preferably
through a real-time medium such as IRC. If this fails or if you do not feel
comfortable proceeding this way,...

Also this document doesn't mention anything about ensuring the

Agreed, and also the part about keeping a record should be removed from the
consequences part because it's a privacy regulation minefield.

Thanks,

Paolo
