This reads like a long-winded "be nice" which is probably what it is
intended to be I guess.

I don't know if it is my imagination or not but things seem to have
substantially improved lately.

While I find the Code of Conduct draft innocuous I don't feel the same
way about the Enforcement draft. While I am mostly fine with the first
three sections in this document I strongly dislike the blanket grant
of power to punish vague offenses to the CWG.

"Violations of the Code of Conduct may be resolved by suggestions for
avoiding the problem in the future up to permanent exclusion from the
project, and anything in-between."

I know the intentions here are good and there is a desire to not try
to enumerate things since everything can't be enumerated but permanent
expulsion from the project for any action that the CWG deems a
violation of the Code of Conduct is a little too broad isn't it? I
understand that there is no intention to use that power except in
really extreme cases but that isn't specified here and honestly I
wouldn't want expulsion to be a delegated power. I would much prefer
to see it require an FPL+unanimous Board decision.
