So that clear violation of CoC happened up to 2 years ago, and was inquired by the CSR. The accused side asserted a mistake and was warned, so case was settled. What has that to do with the recent OP conflicts?
This is another example of system abuse ..

No, it is an example demonstrating that CoC and its enforcement are working. That there is shoplifting in RL is no example that laws against theft are not working and one has to go back to hanging thieves or chopping their hands.

OK, let's pretend none of the events I described before have been started for harassment purpose. There is no guarantee, that q50-100 declarations will not be used for harassment later. ..

Indeed. There is no guarantee that rules never be violated. Moreover, it is even possible that they be bent inappropriately.

An example: As stated, "a number of players reasonably sufficient to pass the threshold against the NPC defense squadrons alone" is required to stay inside the CoC for OP war declarations. Now, I am fairly confident (informed contradiction welcome and invited) that Diwu and me as launcher masters, with appropriate equipment and logistics (max stats q250 launchers, 2 times 3 packers + 1 mount), be able to kill all guards even of a 250 OP if undefended. Does that mean that we have an unlimited license to click?

In fact, no. There is a general rule:
CoC general rules

CoC

The following rules govern the Code of Conduct of Ryzom Services (including the "Ryzom" game, IRC and the forums)...
1. Any harassment, threat or other offending act causing uneasiness to/against another player is forbidden. ..

In fact, one must not try to exploit loopholes in CoC text like a hack lawyer, this will surely result in a warning or a disciplinary.

Did you contact WP people at all?

Why should I care? The attack itself is a sign of hostile intentions..

You should care. Again, the general CoC:

I. Disagreement with another player ..
In case of a disagreement with another player, you are expected to try to come to an amicable settlement yourself. A ticket should be a recourse of last resort, and happen only if you are not able to resolve the situation and a third party needs to step in.

Such is the correct procedure: First try to settle the conflict yourself, if not possible, raise a ticket. And if that solution does not work, apply for a change of rules or game mechanics.
