Yes absolutely, I didn't mean to imply anything of the contrary. I just
brought it up because I think it would be a good idea to link to the CoC
from the PlanetDebian wiki page.

I think it's part of it.
I really do think it's also worth while to explicitly have a short part
stating what the planet is not appropriate for, stating that it's not
appropriate to use the planet to republish personal arguments or smear
campaigns. Sure, that would also be against the CoC, but it will make it
much more easier to remove posts that do things like that rather than
having to rely on an interpretation of the CoC every time that matter
comes up.
