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.

Why not   -- debian-beta   so it is clear that is a beta? 
'current' seems 'the last good'.

'apx' ?  'alpha' seems 'less than beta'.

It will be difficult for user know what is 'arch-indipendent' (is this
what you meant?) This stuff should be symlinked in each arch.

why not also            +--- non-US
or maybe this is what you meant with 'crypto' ?

Development people have access to Incoming, where they (we) can get the
latest bugs :-)

Debugging team is larger, 'cause there is people that has no time do be
active developers but still try (test) and report bugs.
The idea to tell CD people to put no 'unstable' in their CD, can be
considered, anyway.

Sounds like an admin nightmare! Passwords and accounts that travels all
the world ...
And also, to be helpful, those sites should be 'big' ftp sites (ala
funet) and I don't think they will accept >100 accounts there!

just my 2 c.
