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.

Well, I disagree here. We should try to keep the step from 1.3 to 2.0 as
small as possible. Therefore, I suggest that we implement a few other 
things first, instead of pushing the whole list of todo's into the
wishlist of 2.0.

For example, a few developers including myself are working on new tex
packages based on tetex now and we'll probably need a few more weeks to
get this implemented. The time schedule of Brian, which gives us 4 more
weeks is ok, but only 2 weeks would be too short for that. If we can't
finish the upgrade until then, everything would have to be done for
2.0. 

The same things applies to other goals: shadow passwords, for
example.

So I vote for the old release schedule for 1.3.


Thanks,

Chris
