Hi Frederik,
while i have full understanding and sympathize with your approach, I am
doubtful about its outcome.
Those who will read and follow the code of conduct are not those who
will blindly break stuff. Those who don't think through their actions
and do a 30 line script in python/PHP/... that breaks stuff will break
things, and they won't read through the code of conduct anyway.
Same with a type of robots.txt tag on nodes. Those adhering to those
conventions are not the ones who would break things.
Still, can't hurt so why not explicitly document stuff...
