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 it would be productive (as opposed to potentially divisive
in-fighting) to form a coalition of linux variants, toward ensuring
that:

1) binary compatibility is maintained (easy)
2) the FSSTND is used (harder - esp. important on shared libs)
3) .rpm (and .deb?) doesn't become/remain a purely RH thing (harder)

There would probably be much support for such a thing, among the other
distributions.  It'd be worth seeing how RH would feel about it.  RH
isn't -necessarily- interested in monopolizing the market thru .rpm.

BTW, is debian FSSTND compliant on it's rc stuff?  Does the FSSTND apply
to rc stuff?  I note that debian's is more like the SysVR4 and OSF/1
structures, than some other linux distributions.
