Thanks Joshua, I agree.  To address some of the concerns about the code of
conduct being abused:

The code of conduct all boils down to “be kind”, or as others have
suggested, “be excellent to each other” :-)  This is something we can all
agree on.  However, it is pretty vague.  The point of having a longer code
of conduct is to be more specific about the aspects of kindness that we are
most concerned with: “Be friendly and patent”, “be welcoming”, “be
respectful”, etc.  Even these are subject to interpretation.  At the end of
the day, project leaders (e.g. Brian Behlendorf and myself) will need to
exercise good judgment when dealing with conduct issues.  The code of
conduct is intended to provide some transparency as to that process.
