Actually I wasn't being sarcastic. OK, I was being sarcastic in the
first paragraph, but not the second :p
The most significant problem I see with the Contributor Covenant
(other than my personal feeling that Postgres shouldn't have anything
to do members' lives outside the community, but that's just my
opinion) is the potential for legal wranglings that would ensue. Just
being in a position to say "we know what legal problems there are",
let alone being able to say "we know that we are covered against any
potential legal issues" would be prohibitively expensive.
This thread is not about the Contributor Covenant. This thread is about
working the CoC that this community is already progressing through. It
is already clear that primary contributors in this community do not want
something as politically charged as the Contributor Covenant.
At its core, PostgreSQL is a practical community, not a political one.
That is why the CoC we are working on is practical, succinct and to the
point.
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake
