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.

Note that there is an added complexity through dosemu having its own
extended functionality version of insmod and rmmod implemented.

By default they seem to compile for CONFIG_MODVERSIONS off. I'd rather
avoid messing with those for 2.0.X. Can we settle on introducing
CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y (assuming that the early problems are fixed) when we
introduce 2.1.X kernels?

The switch to 2.1.X will break a lot of modules and since we have to redo
the modules at that point I think it would be sensible to take that point
to switch to CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y. By that time I hope that the new
functionality of the dosemu insmod, rmmod is in the standard versions of
insmod and rmmod and we have something consistent to go with.
