As you may know, I am opposed to any such Code of Conducts, as well as I 
do not see any need for the RTEMS list to implement one.


Why?

a) The issues you mention have never been a problem to the RTEMS list.
That said I feel you trying to implement problems to a current non-issue.

b) I for one consider "Code of Conducts" to an ongoing fashion/hype, 
which as I feel probably, originates from certain tendencies in US-society.

c) I have seen many occassions, where "Code of Conducts" have been 
applied as a means of censorship to silence and suppress oppositions in 
case of disagreement or dispute.

d) Some of these project who are proud to have implemented a "Code of 
Conduct" wonder about loosing users. Why? cf. c)
