This needs to come from -core, and then commented on as a complete policy, not just CoC with maybe enforcement provisions later. Not because we're a dictatorship, but if they are going to be the ones responsible for handling complaints, they need to be 100% bought into it. A CoC with no enforcement mechanism is pointless. If there's no mandate from -core to have a CoC, this is just pantomime. Let's say I arrive a -general with a proposal that PG 9.7 should speak the MongoDB wire protocol in addition to v3, complete with some working code. The comments on -general come down to: 1. A large number of people saying I am insane. 2. A smaller number of people saying, "Yes, but which version?" 3. A large number of people saying, "No, it should speak MySQL's protocol instead." I can't claim that, on the basis of #2, there's "consensus" that the feature is a good idea and should be refined and committed, but that's precisely what I see happening here. In any event, the tone of this particular discussion has gotten so out of control (basically, people are being told to shut up left and right), that I don't see a consensus is possible right now. -- -- Christophe Pettus x...@thebuild.com -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
