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'm not the Quake maintianer, but from private conversations with Joey I
think I can answer this one. There is also a quake-lib-stub to be used
with other versions of quake. This was done to provide choices. Joey has
already fixed the unnecessary circular dependency.
