Sorry for not responding sooner for this, travel and the meeting today took up my time.
Anyway, as we discussed today in the Maintainers summit, let's leave the Code of Conduct text alone for now. It matches what "upstream" has with the exception of removing that one paragraph. If you have issues with the wording in it, please work with upstream to fix the issues there as hundreds of other projects will benefit with your changes if they are really needed.
For now, let's let things settle down and not worry about hypothetical situations that might possibly happen in some way or another as we can debate that type of thing endlessly (it's a good skill we have which makes us great kernel developers, but it not always transferrable to other environments).
If real issues do come up in the future, we will address them then, as we always have the option to change and revisit things as needed.
thanks,
greg k-h
