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.

I think there is a potential pitfall here.  People using Debian in a dial-up 
situation won't necessarily have a unique hostname for their machine, or it 
may not remain constant... (eg node5.myispaddress.com)  For instance, I've 
seen lots of Slackware boxen still configured to be called "darkstar" or 
"darkstar.UUCP".  I don't know if Debian has a similar default or not, but if 
it does, there could be a problem here.

Otherwise, sounds fine to me!
