The kernel's code of conduct, one week later

The latter, though not in an as absolute way, as you make it sound here. If some, even important, subsystem does something, than that's one thing, yet still pretty contained and doesn't affect the project at large. For the overarching project I would have wished for a CoC which is short, general, focuses on the few intentions it is supposed to ensure and is as free as it can be from political "baggage".

NB: If I wanted to, I could feel offended by your comment, since one possible way to read it, is, that you're suggesting a severe lack of reading comprehension on my part. Now, if I apply the Debian CoC this problem goes away since I will then assume good faith and assume you might not have worded this perfectly. Under the CoC adopted by the kernel I could call this an "insulting comment".

I will apply the Debian CoC and say, that my original comment could have been more explicit in this regard. Even though the latter way of reading my comment might be the more obvious one, if one assumes, that I actually read the article I commented on (ie. if one assumes good faith).
