Ok, hear me out here. What if I told you those two things are
incompatible? That abiding by the community agreements requires the file
as an explicit declaration of said agreement. That is to say, if we had
a discussion about amending the CoC to be explicit about this expectation
you wouldn’t have issues with including it? Or at least you’d be OK with
it?
Brian is right that adding a requirement to include this file to the CoC
would be an odd move. But, if it did happen, I don't know - I suppose I'd
have two choices: either include the files or remove my code. I would be an
improvement over the current situation in at least one way: we would know
that rules are still created in an orderly, consensus-like way, as opposed
to now, where a small group of developers can apparently make up rules as
they go along.
