If it is, then deriving the CoC for packages from it should be rather straightforward.Honestly, what *I* want is an answer, that we all can agree with, to the question of whether the code of conduct applies to what we package, and if so whether it fully applies or only partially.
I'm feeling somewhat uneasy, and/because I think we have a logical problem here:
- The CoC is about interaction between people;- what we are discussiong right now is accaptable contents of packages (messages, texts).
That's categorically different; I can't be respectful, assume good faith, be collaborative, be concise, be open, etc. against a text (as I can be about other people's behaviour).
I see the point in this topic about creating rules about what texts we want and don't want to have in Debian. But I strongly think that framing this as "application of the Debian CoC for packages" is a logical dead end. - If we want this, we need to create some new "What language is acceptable in Debian" rules.
