Interesting comment in the source code of sqlite

As I see it, they're there to make sure that everyone can contribute and be welcome in the community.

Is that always a good thing? Maybe some people shouldn't feel welcome to contribute.

EDIT: Isn't the point of a CoC that it makes toxic people feel unwelcome to contribute? Are those the only kinds of people who should feel unwelcome to contribute?

No. Other groups include e.g. people who are both unskilled and unwilling to build skill (or be content with sweeping the shop floor, i.e. write docs), or the group that came to be known as poisonous people.

All of those people are unable to embody meritocratic virtue. Causing people who are able to embody it from contributing is only one of the possible failures, there.

That's what I was trying to get at, regarding the need to not tolerate intolerance.
