I do not understand why the Community Council was copied on this.
Based on context from the Ubuntu Flavors Matrix room, this was the
result of a mistake in operations, not an intentional change. Even if
it had been an intentional change though it would not have been a
code-of-conduct violation, and given that it was a mistake it's
*definitely* not a code-of-conduct violation. Escalating things to the
CC this quickly is not helpful, and we don't have a desire to surveil
conversations that we have no reason to be involved in as of yet, so
copying us on things like this makes very little sense (especially
when there's a public list that is copied on this that we can look
through if a CoC violation does occur and we need context).
To those who reply here, please remove
community-council@lists.ubuntu.com from the reply list.
