After Linux Foundation board members passed the new "Code of Conduct" it has sparked outrage and many criticisms among the FOSS community.

The Code of Conduct - now referred to as CoC - is full of buzzwords and vague language that can give vocal groups the power to suppress other developers.

It drives the development hierarchy away from a meritocracy and inserts politics into development and administrative decisions. The CoC aims to promote unity as its underlying message but will only lead to division.
