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.

I think kernel 2.1 should be ignored for /at least/ 9 months (Debian
1.5, maybe).  2.1 is too risky for a distribution and I need stability
on my clients' machines.  When 2.1 development winds down, we should
start to follow it again (and well before 2.2 is released because
distributions can often find bugs that kernel delevelopers can't!).
I like the idea of being the first distribution with 2.0 support.  And
I hope we can be the last distribution with 2.0 support too!  [I.e.,
our stable distribution should have a newer kernel than Red Hat or
Slackware.]

glibc5, libc6 also should wait until adopted and considered stable by
the developer community before risking our novices and clients.

POSIX we /should/ work on.  I was going to ignore my project load and
take on the POSIX test suite (already uploaded to master), but have
decided to leave it for someone else.  Any volunteers?

Of course.
