I fully agree with you. No one would question documenting (or advertising) any 
particular feature - indeed, the quality of documentation is a feature in 
itself. I'm reminded of this 2006 quote from Joss Whedon [1]:

Q: So, why do you write these strong female characters?
A: Because you’re still asking me that question.

The Postgres community is also a great "feature", maybe the question we should 
be asking is - "why isn't it documented yet?”? I don’t see a CoC as an end in 
itself, it’s merely an artefact of a community that is as proud of it’s 
workings as it’s output.

Regards,

Tony
