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 agree with all of the above without seeing any need to
restructure the base into a monolithic-source-tree system
under a core group.

I think the main thing you are trying to get from a monolithic source
tree for the base and a core group is the ability to have fine control
over conflicts and the ability to instantly see problems that come from
changing interdependent components. Both of these goals require the
ability to build the entire base, preferrably with a single command,
after you make a change. I have been working toward giving us that
ability, and will continue to do so. I'm still not clear that it requires
the fundamental change you propose to do it.

	Thanks
