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.

The only thing "corporate" here is a very mild overtone of the word
"department", and your perception of it.  They needn't be called
"departments" to have their beneficial effects.  In fact, some people
call them "mailing lists" or "newsgroups".  Or "departments" or "teams"
(like in XFree86).  These are all mechanisms for dealing with the same
problem.

The proposal was a very reasonable suggestion for dealing with the
inherent problems of communications overhead, which are not limited to
corporate structures in the slightest.

A...  oh, for example, "county fair" would need the same sort of
simplifying assumptions, to avoid being crushed under its own weight.

Please, let's not dump a good idea, just because someone didn't like the
word choice.
