This a direct quote from the CoC: "Harassment includes the use of abusive, offensive or degrading language, intimidation, stalking, harassing photography or recording, inappropriate physical contact, sexual imagery and unwelcome sexual advances or requests for sexual favors."
...and this is from the interpretation document:
Contributions submitted for the kernel should use appropriate language. Content that already exists predating the Code of Conduct will not be addressed now as a violation.
So existing code is explicitly not a CoC violation and need not be treated as such. That said, improvements to the comments are always welcome, as long as they are actually improvements. Thanks, jon
