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. My main issue was that seasons don't work for more fundamental
reasons.
With regard to naming...I have been having a real problem with the use of
ustable/stable as labels for distributions in various stages of
development. Is there any reason why developers can't direct their package
updates to the target distribution by name? My concern comes from the
following scenario:

I upload a package upgrade targeted for unstable (rex). While it is
waiting in Incoming, rex becomes stable and bo becomes unstable with the
result that my bug fix for the rex distribution ends up in bo when it
finally gets installed. Is there some compelling reason not to use the
"real" names of distributions so that a maintainer can "aim" the package
at the correct tree?

Thanks,

Dwarf
