I read their proposed code. While the idea behind it is basically "be
nice to each other" and that is a good thing, I don't think Fedora needs
this at the moment. I agree with spot in that I'd rather cross that
bridge when it's needed.
And I particularly dislike the whole "proctor" concept and introducing
something like seems entirely pointless and draconian at the moment.
