Are you a Linux developer ? I am not asking in a snarky way.. I would really like to know, because I firmly believe it is for that group to decide the direction and subsequent actions.

If a project has done well for 20+ years without CoCs and bringing in CoC is creating fissures and conflict may be CoC is not good this group, but again that is for them to decide with proper process what ever it is.

Linus and GregKH are Linux devs, and they committed the new CoC, maybe they know what they want after all. Or do you think they are simply ignoring the vast majority of their fellow devs?

No, I'm not. Although I'm a heavy Linux user if that means anything at all.

I'm just stating the plain obvious.
