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.

Compressing of documentation is required by policy right now. I would like
to change that to "recomended". There is no intend of recommending it
for general use right now. 

[Lots of stuff relating to testing]

The product is not finished so we as the Debian project would influence
the development in order to have something that satisfies our
requirements. We will not only test but also improve the package.

Yes.
