"The document has changed" is not a consensus emerging.  A significant portion of the participants don't want a CoC at
all,and they are feeling ignored.  A significant portion of the participants don't want this CoC, because they feel
it'snot strong enough, and they're feeling ignored.  Those two parties are not trivial; in fact, they make up most of
thepeople who are commenting right now.

Participation does not need to be limited to copy-editing.  Of all the ways to develop a community CoC, we're engaged
