It certainly _should_ be the most important; IMHO the sentence should end after 'everyone'. > Your above argument that the Code of Conduct is problematic because of > who wrote it seems to contradict your statement that we shall judge by > code (or text) alone. I think there are important differences between code to be run by CPUs and a Code to be run by humans. And when the author goes on a victory lap on Twitter and declares the Code to be "a political document", is it any surprise I'm worried?
