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 agree with your disagree. I know that here, in my circle, Debian is
losing credibility again due to the missed 1.2 date. It's unfortunate
to see key machines being converted over to RH. If any of the 
scientists out there know CERN, they will see that they officially
support RH now. I had them swayed to Debian at one point... :(
I know there has been a tremendous amount of effort on everyone's part
to get this far, but let's get 1.2 out the door. Debian is getting the
reputation of always being late and behind.
