you mean, the money spent on the CoC would not helped to develop better
code by getting people willing to code for the same amount of money.

Just documenting some short comings of the project in its current state.

I showed this to my wife. She is not white, and - what a surprise - she
is not make. All she could do is laugh. There was a time, when she
asked if white people are really that bad. The CoC gave a clear answer.

What ever bad thing appeared in the past, appeared very smooth, very

The Nineties are over, yes, but is civilisation also over?

Of course, people can work on FreeBSD with the new CoC. But do they
have to work?

The future will tell.
