That seems like a pretty good scratch CoC to me. (See my other note
about how other communities deal with this.) It's concrete, short, to
the point, and a useful thing to point to when some flamewar breaks
out over irrelevant stuff. If people want a CoC, I think it should be
something like the above.

If someone did that, it would fall under (2), no? (I note that a
recent RFC, of which I am a co-author, about DNS terminology did say
that "primary" and "secondary" were to be preferred over "master" and
"slave". I didn't personally agree with the claim, but that's what
got consensus.)
