This thread started with a discussion of the CoC. The premise of the thread was this: that counter-CoC behavior might emerge on a project, and that the project might tolerate, or even celebrate, that behavior, for lack of an explicit bylaw explicitly adopting the CoC.
This premise is wrong. The CoC applies to everyone at Apache, inside the established projects or outside (such as on this mailing list). If any reader of this mailing list observes behavior contrary to the CoC, that member should address it, escalating to the board if needed. If folks want to continue to exchange arguments about the value, or lack thereof, of per-project bylaws on other accounts, I wish they'd change the subject line.
