The longer the CoC gets, the more "clutter" it will have - as you can see in the Covenant. (This is why I find the Code of Merit much better than Covenant, even though it is IMHO still too long - and the fact it doesn't have approximately 1/3 or 1/4 of the text dedicated to listing abusive behavior and the general equality stuff, like Covenant does. And that it doesn't try to control people outside of the project.) Regards PK
