That is complete nonsense. It is more obvious than patently obvious by now 
that that utopic environment does not exist, so that, with very contradictory 
wants from Paul or Nicolas on one hand, and, say Vittorio or Marvin on the 
other hand.

Although you are correct for the wrong reasons that there is also no question 
about it being warning-worthy. It might have been debatable initially. But it 
is moot now that Paul has verified Godwin's law. That is simply wholly 
intolerable and there are no sane actions than for the CC to suspend him.

The fact that the CC has done *nothing* in over 24 hours is already a bad 
enough look.

Nobody likes to be warned in public. Don't get me started on being on the 
receiving end of warnings in open-source projects.

The whole point of a public warning are to make an example, and show 
consideration for the victims (if any), not to be friendly.

Yes? And regrettably, Paul has repeatedly breached community rules if not 
common sense courtesy, and made a lot of people unhappy to contribute. He has 
also been warned many times and ignored or even rebuked those warnings. 
Yesterday was a new low (at least in the time frame that I have been 
subscribed to FFmpeg-devel).

At this point, I unfortunately don't see a way forward other than excluding 
him for an extended period of time. This is extreme considering that he has 
been one of the most prolific contributor to FFmpeg, but then again, he de 
facto excluded himself by making a hostile fork.
