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.

Yes, "why we even bother at all" was a little strong ;)  Obviously a working 
source tree is needed as a starting point (although that is not absolutely 
necessary, a non-working starting point could be placed into CVS and developed 
to a point of building through CVS, then a snapshap of that used as the 
initial working CVS tree, not sure if that would be a great way to go though 
).  Anyway my point was that whilst the current source tree isn't a complete 
waste of space, it could be made a much more alive and active part of debian 
than is currently the case (to the overall betterment of Debian [IMO]).
