<p>To summarise my position here, I have no objection to a CoC in principle, but I'm not particularly comfortable taking on the decision of whether or not to have one and if so which one to have as a personal decision taken unilaterally by me.</p>

<p>The problem of course is that we have long had the problem of not having a defined mechanism for making consensus decisions in this project...</p>

<p>That problem, of essentially only having one real maintainer and no defined core community with equal powers and a right to vote in some sort of consensus of course also goes to the problem of who should deal with complaints.</p>
