It was a political move from day one. As you might notice Kernel is not the only environment that adds and modifies their CoC currently. There is a group with political goals driving that effort. He wanted to see where the wind is blowing before making a move himself, as well as be flexible enough to also move into the corresponding direction.
That said, I also wonder if he moves too quickly, or if he found an agreement with other FOSS leaders.
- dsr_ 8y agoCan you identify this "group with political goals driving that effort" or is it speculation bordering on conspiracy theory?
- erikb 8y agoCan you check the other comments in the thread and any other post about CoCs in FOSS communities over the recent 4-16 weeks? Check out this discussion for instance: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18281676 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18281676 Also note that my previous comment is at -4 already of the time of this writing, which must be done by someone who doesn't like that opinion. You wouldn't go ask 5-7 of your friends to give downvotes to that comment just because you disagree with it, right?
