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.

Re: libc includes vs. kernel includes

I think this is a fairly good point, but note that this wasn't the
avowed intent of the original kernel-includes packages.  The
advertised intent was to make gcc usable without requiring a full
kernel source tree.

In this context, it's reasonable to introduce a new set of
kernel-includes packages that replace part of libc, if there's a need
for them.

Personally, I think that programs that need the current kernel version
are alpha quality software, and it's perfectly allright to do an
explicit -I/usr/src/linux/include until those issues can be dealt with
in a more permanent fashion.
