This needs to come from -core, and then commented on as a complete policy, not just CoC with maybe enforcement provisions later.  Not because we're a dictatorship, but if they are going to be the ones responsible for handling complaints, they need to be 100% bought into it.  A CoC with no enforcement mechanism is pointless.  If there's no mandate from -core to have a CoC, this is just pantomime.

Let's say I arrive a -general with a proposal that PG 9.7 should speak the MongoDB wire protocol in addition to v3, complete with some working code.  The comments on -general come down to:

1. A large number of people saying I am insane.
2. A smaller number of people saying, "Yes, but which version?"
3. A large number of people saying, "No, it should speak MySQL's protocol instead."

I can't claim that, on the basis of #2, there's "consensus" that the feature is a good idea and should be refined and committed, but that's precisely what I see happening here.

In any event, the tone of this particular discussion has gotten so out of control (basically, people are being told to shut up left and right), that I don't see a consensus is possible right now.
