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: Web Server Standard

For once I'm in agreement with Christoph ;)

I see no reason for ROM space.  All conversions to HTML should take
place in postinsts.  And the install process writes over /usr anyway.

Bruce please reconsider the standard.  Or at least try to implement
the standard with even one web server to see how complex it is.
