Especially given who I've now found out is on that working group, I'm fine with them managing issues of behavior, but we should be able to (responsible for, even) handle standard team dynamics amongst ourselves. Maybe I was/am missing something, but I got the sense that Victor was describing something like technical discussions that get heated because two sides are passionate about their stance—a common and generally reasonable thing to occur—and that was where some people might find the distinction between conflict and misbehavior blurred. To me that's still a thing we should at least start to work on amongst ourselves, as opposed to something like the issues of offensive word choice or name calling. With the former we have some things to work on smoothing out towards a common goal, and the latter we just want none of.

That's how I understand Victor's message too. Conflicts between core developers that may occur because of different visions and frequent friction on topic both developers are passionate about (and perhaps conflicts of authority on a given topic).

Regards

Antoine.
