I feel it is unnecessarily political.

Hmm.

Let's see...

Acceptable Behavior Example #1:

Using welcoming and inclusive language.

Unacceptable Behavior Example #1:

The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or advances.

It's hard, because you can't say it's overly political (it is) without sounding like you have a problem with inclusion or harassment. The problem seems to be the general wave of... this thing... that has been sweeping every industry in the last... oh, five to ten years. The same thing that sees educated and talented people fired from their jobs for saying something that upset someone (context be damned, a lot of the time).

It finally managed to make its way into the closets of nerds who design kernels. :/

A few years ago it was video games. I'd say the saturation is now complete.

I don't see what was wrong with the original Code of Conflict, but if I pay attention to today's sociopolitical climate, then I see everything that's wrong with it.

It doesn't have the right words/coddling tone that suits the likes of today's sensitivity material. Do a ctrl+f inclusive on the Code of Conflict. 0 matches.

In the current year?

Highly offensive.
