/shrug It is what it is. The idea that the working group had any meaningful power to 'discipline' people who violated the code was dubious already, and the reddit thing just made it more obvious that any kind of enforcement wouldn't really work. Ultimately, maybe this is the way forward for projects; facilitate a way to bring people together to talk rather than punish people. For what it's worth, I don't think the code of conduct was a particular success, but I don't think it was a particular failure either. The go community is far nicer, more welcoming and has proportionally less hostile self important twats in it than it did 3 years ago... but, that's probably just a matter of the community growing to include a lot more people. This is probably the right change for go. It's not an excuse to start being a douche.
