I find myself wondering what that would look like. The userbase feels it has done quite a lot of halfway-meeting over time, and the net result now looks more like Xeno's Paradox in action than it does genuine improvement the users want.
Looking at the vocal users, I see relatively few convinced that the goals in question are worth sacrificing for. I can't blame them - the administration has done a poor job of selling the userbase on the notion.

I see more concern over the actual implementation than the goals themselves. I suspect there are very few people (though vocal) who would say that harassment is a good and valuable part of a culture.
Most of the hysteria I see is some form or another of slippery slope arguments and assumptions of grand power abuse.
I guess I just don't see "Reddit is dead, abandon ship!" as a viable response to admins saying "Hey, harassment is bad and we're going to be more responsive to it."
