Hi Renato,
I sense you feel passionate about this issue. I read the Django CoC. And I
personally do not feel there is anything in there that is overarching nor
exclusionary. I don't think such a CoC would limit reasonable expression on
this list nor more generally in the LLVM community in any way. And it clearly
invites all individuals to feel welcome. I'm trying to understand what your
specific objections are.

thanks,
Karen
