Actually, that addition was in response to concerns that the previous version didn't delimit the intended scope of the document *at all*. So I would say it's more restricted now than the previous version. I feel that most of the concerns being raised today are straw men. If the PG lists were a place for political discussion, there'd be valid points to worry about as to whether a CoC might be used to stifle free speech. But every example that's been given has been not merely off-topic but wildly so, so I don't find the discussion to be very realistic. regards, tom lane
