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.

Just to clarify my idea...  "Everybody" was the wrong word.  I
should have said "developers & beta testers".  Since frozen has
been copied from "unstable", presumably it is functional and (since
we're in public-beta) quite stable.

This is no substitute for a real testing procedure, but I think
it would help.


I like the way you got the testing started in Month 1 of a three month
schedule.  I think that's better than the "private-beta" and a four month
schedule.
