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.

Well, it definitely needs doing. I'd suggest a better character-oriented
user interface rather than an X one, as not all of our users run X, and there
are other window systems on the horizion - X will eventually be replaced by
something that runs Java directly to the display without all of the excess
baggage and overhead of X.

Since people seem to think dselect and dpkg are worth keeping, I think someone
has to start working on a better dselect interface now. We're definitely
snoozing on this issue, and if we don't do something about it we're gonna lose.
