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.

Substituting "rex" for "frozen", it is. Stable isn't -- it
gets fixed when there are problems (and there always will be,
regardless of the amount of testing).

We have rex, rex-updates, and rex-fixed, with stable pointing
at rex-fixed. We need all three.

rex-fixed doesn't get updated all that often, and it shouldn't.
(Five updates in six weeks isn't often.)

The only problem we have is the lack of systematic testing
of what becomes rex, and the fixes put into rex-updates
afterwards. What we have is wishful thinking: we have frozen
for a month, and wish that people both try it, and report any
problems. Your "hand-selected older versions" might work a bit
better than the current system, but not nearly well enough --
we still wouldn't have any idea of what works and what doesn't.

I'm writing a proposal on how to introduce systematic testing.

No.
