This thread is not about the Contributor Covenant. This thread is about
working the CoC that this community is already progressing through. It
is already clear that primary contributors in this community do not want
something as politically charged as the Contributor Covenant.

At its core, PostgreSQL is a practical community, not a political one.
That is why the CoC we are working on is practical, succinct and to the
point.
