Yes -- one could argue this opens the door for other bad behavior at OSCon, since it's not on the (new) list of things not to do.

That's the problem with putting these things in writing -- the more rules you write down, the stronger the impression that whatever's not on the list isn't against the rules.

It's already been happening though. It's not like leaving it out of writing preventing incidents from happening.
