Experience tells, in longer terms "project leaders" tend to 
instrumentalize "Code of Conducts" as a means of oppression and 
suppression, just to silence opposition.

Yes, definitely - CoCs endanger people to being banned from lists 
because of having expressing opions. To not expose themselves to this 
danger, they often simply do not express their opinions. They implement 
a climate of uncertainty and fear.

This is counterproductive to OSS-projects. OSS-projects need open minds, 
and needs tolerance - not censorship.

IMO, "clear words" and a CCoC are self-contractory and mutally exclusive.
