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.

How about this: when a new version of a package is installed, the old
version is moved into a .old subdirectory. After a week (or whatever
arbitrary time period is selected), the old version is purged, or rolled
off to tape. If it needs to be put back during that week (OWATPIS), it's
pretty easy.

Mirrors can choose whether or not to mirror the .old, right?

CVS strikes me as overkill.
