Repeal The Linux Foundation's Code of Conduct

The Linux kernel is too important to be jeopardised by identity politics. A change to the code of conflict further stressing the need to keep things civil/professional is fine. The CoC that was adopted is a political manifesto more than a neutral CoC. Repeal or supersede with a non-politically motivated one, please.

Repeal The Linux Foundation's Code of Conduct

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.
