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.

You mean 50 messages a day, don't you?  :-)  Traffic has gone up a little
since the 1.1 release.

This seems to imply people can't put the unstable tree on a CD.  Perhaps
saying that they're free to do it, but that we request that they contact us
before putting an unreleased version on the CD?

You might also mention the list of CD manufacturers you maintain, if they
want to be added.

Is this intentionally Debian 1.1 as the base system, or just one you missed
changing when copying the old release statement?  Just checking...
