Yeah, and a CoC *should* be vague, because otherwise it just opens up
other forms of trolling (of the schoolchild level, "I'm not
TECHNICALLY breaking the rules...").

BTW, regarding the older project being unmaintained: it appears to
have gained a new maintainer just in the last day or so. If that's the
case, the original justification for attempting to take over the
project would not apply, and pdoc3 should be treated as a fork over
technical decisions instead (see the original post in the linked
GitHub issue, where he complains about certain design decisions). Not
sure if that changes anything though.
