"The document has changed" is not a consensus emerging.  A significant portion 
of the participants don't want a CoC at all, and they are feeling ignored.  A 
significant portion of the participants don't want this CoC, because they feel 
it's not strong enough, and they're feeling ignored.  Those two parties are not 
trivial; in fact, they make up most of the people who are commenting right now.

Participation does not need to be limited to copy-editing.  Of all the ways to 
develop a community CoC, we're engaged in just about the worst possible one 
right now.
