From <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bugs.ruby-lang.org&#x2F;issues&#x2F;12004#note-159" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bugs.ruby-lang.org&#x2F;issues&#x2F;12004#note-159</a><p>&gt; Our community have 20+ years of history. We had a few issues in the past, but all of them could be resolve by the communication.<p>&gt; On the other hand, we had to take great care to avoid bureaucracy in our workflows and processes. For me, avoiding bureaucracy is far immediate danger. Of course, <i>I agree with you in part, so I agree to add kind of CoC for the community.</i><p>Matz agrees with a CoC, but sees the Contributor Covenant as heavy-handed. Nothing wrong with that, no need to give this a title that&#x27;s totally wrong.
