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.

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.

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