It seems extremely wrong to me. I think it gives the wrong impression -
that we're sufficiently dysfunctional that we have to have our code of
conduct so prominently displayed. I think it's aimed at the wrong audience
as well - reading it it's aimed at people already in the community, which
doesn't fit with an about page.

For example, it's not Solaris. And it's not a way of getting free support. And
it's not OpenSolaris, either. (I don't envy whoever has to come up with the
explanation of how OpenSolaris [the community and development project] and
OpenSolaris [the nascent distro] are and aren't related.)
