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.

buzz won't be removed; unstable will be.  Perhaps that wasn't obvious.
It will be replaced with a directory rex.  unstable will point to rex.

Why a mess?

All valid points.  It's fine with me if we wait on this issue.
Eventually we're going to have to nuke the unstable directory.  Or
better would be if we could persuade the admins to just "mv unstable
rex".
