I believe the move towards creating the CoC was in the pipeline before |
| 8 |
these outside events took place; it was a response to the surge on |
| 9 |
gentoo-dev itself, and as such an internally instigated matter. |

The pressure to get the draft approved in the ridiculously short period |
| 12 |
of three days in the middle of a week does look like it was affected by |
| 13 |
the bad PR in junk outlets like DW. If that is the case, then it is |
| 14 |
most definitely a bad thing. |

That's the exact opposite of my reading. The so-called mess in the |
| 21 |
last couple of weeks is nothing so unusual - happens every few months |
| 22 |
or so, and IMO it's more about steam venting than the specific |
| 23 |
issues at hand at the time. Responding to the sort of pathetic |
| 24 |
blogging seen on Distrowatch is a bad thing, its sends the signal that |
| 25 |
rantings on the blog-o-sphere are due some respect, which the article |
| 26 |
of the 13th certainly does not. |
