Last week, Phoronix broke a story about the kernel DRM group over at FreeDesktop.org submitting a pull request for their code of conduct to be included in the kernel docs for the DRM subsystem. The next day it was merged.

I'm particularly interested in if they think this will keep Linus from saying hurtful things to them over lousy code. Discuss.

    They still have to interact with other groups code and interfaces which can result in "your code sucks!" and Linus can probably "Haven't been fixed for 8 months, removed from repository!" ;-)

    If he's going to start pulling buggy code from the repository that hasn't been fixed for eight months (or heck, eight years), there won't be a whole lot of code left.
