It seems the primary change was to make the scope of the CoC apply outside of just chatter in project spaces. With that in mind lines like this seem particularly troublesome: > Discussing potentially offensive or sensitive issues; this all too often leads to unnecessary conflict. I understand the want to avoid unnecessary unrelated conflict within the project, but outside? "potentially offensive or sensitive issues" vary widely between people and groups of people, as I'm sure we all know. > political attacks Well that won't end well, or have any hope of being evenly applied, considering the omnipresence of partisan politicking especially in online spaces. It is also by definition a "sensitive issue" It just sounds like they want everyone involved in the project to be bland generic PR people at all times. That's the literal reading at least. However since CoC violations are filtered through basically one person, personal biases will weigh heavily in how the rules are applied. Edit: Honestly this just reaffirms my belief that using anonymous accounts not linked to your rl identity for non-work content is a Very Good Idea. But not very in-vogue these days. Regardless of that even, internet mobs are very good at finding out who the real person behind a meme-posting twitter account etc. is.
