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.

Why did 1.2 have so many problems?

Inadequate testing, policy misunderstandings, confusion of a new
packaging scheme, all multiplied by an explosion in new packages and
new maintainers.  I don't believe it was caused by too short of a
testing cycle.

Here's your last posted schedule:
Sat, Feb  1, 1997 -- Deadline for objectives for Bo

Mon, Feb  3, 1997 -- Bugs older than 10 months (will be 12 months by release)
                     will be marked as critical.  People might want to start
                     fixing/closing/forwarding these now to avoid the eventual
                     "nag" messages.

Thu, Feb 27, 1997 -- Bo will be frozen.

Fri, Mar 28, 1997 -- Bo will be released.

I certainly don't want to shorted the testing.  Let's just move
everything up.

Past              -- Deadline for objectives (Your list is a superset.)
Today		  -- Bugs older than 10 months marked as critical
early Feb         -- Freeze bo
early March       -- Release bo
.
.
.
July or August?   -- Release woody
