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.

Re: PLEASE DO NOT RELEASE 1.2 WITH XFREE86 3.1.2

A one week test period and craftmanship are mutually exclusive.  The decision 
to release 3.2 has been made, and this is an acceptable decision, but
we need an adequate test period.  Remember the malloc problems from
upgrading libc?

Perhaps Christopher could test gwm and oleo for me, since I will not
have access to a Linux machine during the 1 week test period.  If
anyone tests these packages, please inform me.

Though the decision has been reached, I will reiterate.  A timely
release of a system with no serious new bugs followed by a fixed
release is not that big of a crime.

   I think one week is OK.  I think the XFree86 team and Stephen Early
   will provide us with something that is at least as good at the old.
   And from the reports I've seen ... so far so good.

   Have you ever heard of the concept of "craftmanship"?
