I don't hold an opinion on which direction to go at least for now, but I see a lot of mentions to Code of Conduct. Personally it doesn't look like a good phenomenon that CoC is being mentioned all the way down the path because it defines the bottom line of behavior which could be referred when dealing with extreme cases. Our community is always driven by consensus reached with polite communications, even if some appeared to be hot debates. Having a CoC is a good progress on the establishment of community procedures and documents, but to the best of my knowledge it is not intented to be a single point of failure that it makes up an impression of anyone is encouraged to do anything that is "not prohibited by CoC".
