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: things I fixed in the 1.2 composite bug list



We probably could make this change.  For the Debian-1.2 release, I
don't see a need for it, since the other patch is already uploaded.
My preference for a bug release fix, is to make it as minimal as
possible.  I'll think about it for unstable.
