I did not read the code of conduct as a warranty. It is a declaration of intent, shows that we as a project are aware of social obstacles in contributing to free software projects and actively try to avoid and remove them. The code of conduct also serves as a basis for negotiating incidents, which have not yet happened. The very fact that a contact person is available in these cases and a simple process to deal with incidents is outlined might be sufficient for potential contributors (some of which may have been burned by hostile project communities) to join us without worries. Given the current beautiful state of the community surrounding Guix I don=E2=80=99t see any negative effects this code of conduct could possibl= y have. ~~ Ricardo
