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 suppose that keeping a CD online on a well connected ftp site would be
simpler and cheaper, and make users happier too.
Speed is not important in this case.

In such a case I would prefere to keep also the old version (maybe
renamed .old) on the newer Debian releases. It's not good to lose
functionality even if in Windows world.

What you pointed out are user's issues: how could an ftp user (maybe
anonymous) extract an older version from the CVS tree?
