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.

This sounds fine.  The actual motivation of my earlier suggestion was the 
thought of truly obscure packages that are nearly unused for one reason 
or another.  I wanted to make sure that the testing process would not be 
too diluted as a result of trying to test every package.  The fact that 
we will implement this testing at all should give a great boost to 
initial system stability which could really boost Debian's reputation.

BTW, Dale, please add me to your list of potential testers.  I should be 
able to clear up a few hundred MB on at least one PC for testing 
installations.

Thanks.  Syrus.
