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: packages with nasty names

I would say that he should be able to name it whatever he likes.  Of
course, if the CDA ever gets reinstated, then the decision'll be made
by the Govt in the USA.

If this is the official name of the package, then changing it for
Debian will only make a big mess.

If packages with truly obscene names ever became a real problem (I
doubt it), then we could always put them in a separate directory, and
have a parental/squeamish disclaimer...but then we'd have to decide
what was obscene, not a task I'd relish.
