This isn't something you can hide anymore. This will be clear to anyone with access to an LLM and the wherewithall to see what defines community morale.

Basically this means that as I've always said: THE #COC IS OPTIONAL, and that is intentional. Now you can allow people to play favourites, have insider cliques, enforcers, yada-yada-yada and so forth.

When public officials then figure this out, they will avoid you like the plague, because they already have previous experience with this sort.

If you are a maintainer of #nix, #nixpkgs or #nixos: listen up.

You've got about 2 years or so being a serious contender, until someone like #lix or even #ostree with #ComposeFS comes in and eats your lunch.

Part and parcel of that is the community, the language, the security of knowing that there is culpability and responsibility.

Linus Torvalds had to walk it off because an entire foundation told him to. If the nix "community" is beyond this, why give #DeterminateSystems contracts?
