Hi,

Antoine - thank you; I see now that your statement before to archive my
repository was just because you thought it was no longer in use. I feel
better now.

Thanks for your thoughtful response. I just want to clarify that I do
indeed have pragmatic reasons for not wanting that file, unrelated to my
opinion of the CoC. As I wrote briefly before, I just don't think the file
is making an accurate statement, given that it implies that *all*
development of the extension is governed by the CoC, which is not the case.

I suppose that one solution which hasn't been discussed yet is to change
the wording of that file so that it says something more defensible, like
"This extension is hosted on facilities governed by the Code of Conduct",
or that kind of thing - that would at least remove the pragmatic objection
that I (and some others in this thread) have raised.

It still leaves open the question of whether the file should be made
mandatory, and if so, what the mechanism should be to determine that.
