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.

No, a realist!  We have solved[1] the complex shared library problem
(yes, the pacakge maintainers must follow the specs!  And when they
don't problems will ensue).  But new shared lib releases are no great
strain (especially with dpkg-shlibdeps around).

1.  The only unresolved issue that I see is retiring old shared lib
versions.  It is safest to keep old versions in the distribution
forever.  I think an old shared lib can be retired as soon as all
packages that depend on it are upgraded to support newer versions of
the shared lib.
