I also want to say at this point that I think this incident has
reflected well on both Ian and the CoC. The point of the code, as I see
it, is to keep a lid on the kind of squabbling that can tear a project
apart. In this case Ian didn't like something, but followed an internal
process rather than making a direct attack. A neutral party looked at
the matter and decided that further action wasn't warranted. Ian then
respected the decision and moved on. That's the way this should work.
Reasonable people can either agree or disagree with Ian's initial
complaint, but that's life and that's why there's a process. Yeah, there
was a lot of discussion in addition to the core events, but if there
wasn't this wouldn't be debian. At least it didn't turn into the kind of
vendetta it might have a decade ago.
