I thought about adding something like "meanwhile the old Code of Conflict stays in effect", but that already felt like editorializing, and so could prevent the big pile of acks I think we need for any such change. That's why I tried to limit my suggestion as much as possible to stricly undisputed facts only (we _are_ discussing it still after all). Personally I don't want to ack or nack any concrete changes (including going back to the old one, if temporarily), as long as Linus hasn't clarified why this was rushed and why he felt the change was necessary. Long term I'm all for getting this right of course, but figuring out what "right" is in the context of the linux kernel community will take a while longer than what we have until 4.19 ships (even with the 1 week extension, just read the -rc7 release announcement)..
