Regardless of your opinion of software design, characterising everyone's efforts as 'malware' is not OK. The term is very well defined, and trolling isn't welcome here. Replying to two other mails on the thread, which I don't have to hand: We should've done a better job at announcing this. I am now in the process of contacting all our member projects, of which there are surprisingly many, to go through this change with them. In the meantime some more details are at https://www.fooishbar.org/blog/fdo-contributor-covenant/ The accusations levelled against the Ada Initiative by ESR, a noted non-contributor of code to this and many other communities, would be laughable if they weren't so insanely libellous. If the desire is to be able to have unimpeded technical discussions, then accusing external people (with absolutely no evidence) of trying to set up fake sexual assults for ... well, I have no idea what anyone stands to gain out of that, or why they would do that (neither does ESR), is really not a great way to go about it. I can only offer my assurance that I haven't introduced the CoC as a vehicle to either a) level fake sexual assault allegations for unclear motives, or b) try to destroy the livelihoods of others by doing the same. Constructive feedback on the specific form and wording of the CoC is more than welcome. What would be even better is if you're able to point to the experiences of other communities, the discussions they've had, and where they landed. The exact wording isn't irreversibly set in stone, and I'm sure we'll want to be tweaking it over time. What is set in stone is that we (the fd.o admins, who unanimously approved this change) are committed to this CoC, and will not be turning back from it.
