The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

Just to clarify, I don't object to long filenames.  I object to using
'--', especially where '.'s are traditionally used.  

Frankly, I'm sick of this whole debate and just want to see it end.  I
was, albeit silently, in the camp that wanted to require -revision
fields to simplify filename parsing.  However, at this point, I prefer
to keep the status quo and just tell anyone who wants to parse
filenames that they either need to make their parsers smarter or get
the information through other means.
