Looking into the details to me it seems exactly as expected. The liberal
**** hijacked Debian as they did and do routinely with many other
organizations. So now the Communist Party of Debian can rule with CoC.
Great job - makes me feel proud of Debian (ironically).
And I can imagine what will happen in the future. Debian will become like
many other companies a victim of its CoC where it is not important to
provide good software but to comply with what the communist party elite
says. This is a pandemic for itself.
I will be not surprised if I replace debian with something else in the
future. Not because I care that much about the **** CoC, but because the
ideologically motivated organization will not be able to deliver the
expected quality.
