Spelling out common sense helps make sure that it's actually common; in the context of a code of conduct, a catch-all for unexpected poor behavior seems useful (in case anyone tries to play rules lawyer with it), but spelling out frequent issues specifically seems preferable to assuming a common understanding of "common sense", especially in cases where different people's common sense seems particularly likely to disagree. - Josh Triplett _______________________________________________ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
