I think most everyone else has got out of the "characterising it as rules"
thing already. It's pretty obvious that's not what Murray's suggesting, or
what we're (slowly, consensus-gridlock-ly) buying into.

I think a fun way to deal with this criticism ('cos it's valid and expected)
is to actually make it a Very GNOMEy Code of Conduct. Let's not beat around
the bush - first point: "Be Excellent to Each Other".
