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.

Actually, I'm not so sure that this correctly describes the current state  
of affairs.

We are currently actually using *four* names. First, there's the (new)  
Organisation that's behind the project, something long and unmemorable -  
"Software in the public interest" or some such.

Then, there's "the Debian project".

Then, there's our product - "Debian GNU/Linux". (A name I gather rms has  
no problems with.)

And finally, our product is marketed in the category of "Linux  
distribution".

It might then be something like "Debian GNU/Hurd", I expect.
