FreeBSD has announced a new LLVM-derived code of conduct.

According to a 2018 survey "35% were dissatisfied with the code of conduct adopted in 2018, 34% were neutral, and 30% were satisfied." So, they held another survey at the start start of June:

Which code of conduct should FreeBSD adopt?

Retain the current code of conduct:

RESULTS

  • 4% favoured keeping the current code of conduct
  • 33% favoured the Go-derived code of conduct
  • 63% favoured the LLVM-derived code of conduct.

Thus, the Core Team, following the preference of a majority of active
FreeBSD developers, adopted the LLVM-derived code of conduct.

    It would be interesting if you could work some polymorphism into your CoC or perhaps word it in a way that people trying to wield the CoC against others are in clear violation of the CoC.

    Just work off the paradox of tolerance. "Every action taken in this project should be done in an inclusive matter. You should not exclude or call out anyone for any reason other than the technical merit of their code. This includes exclusionary actions due to sex, gender, orientation, politics, religion, or any other matter of personal belief. Such actions will not be tolerated."
