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.

    The ideals are embodied in the flag and song as well.

    The ideals are embodied in the flag and song as well.

    Some claim that the flag and the song are more important than embracing those ideals.

    I heartily disagree with that sentiment. In fact, pointing up where we fall short of those ideals while focused on the flag and the song is a powerful reminder that the ideals are what's important, not the symbols of them.

      Some people don't think things through, on either side of the issue. Getting massively butthurt over someone disrespecting either is just as stupid as not considering that nobody not already in your camp is going to listen to a word you say if you pick the most offensive method of protest at your disposal as a starting point.

    How so? I guess the song represents war monging but the flag? Are Americans striped stars or perhaps those stars are like the ones the kindergarten teachers gave out to the best behaved kids.

      Warmongering? Are you "special" or something? It was written by Francis Scott Key about his relief and rejoicing after a night of artillery bombardment during the war of 1812, which was his nation being invaded by the Brits.

      The stars stand for the states, one each but none assigned any specific state. The stripes alternately stand for our liberty and the blood that was shed for it; white for the former and red for the latter.
