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.

This is one of the major stumbling blocks I have getting Debian in at
BNL. The fact that it is run and developed by volunteers with no
real QC and validation scares people off. Linux is being used to
run Beamline experiments (as controllers and data collection), and
as departmental servers, but RH seems to be the bulk of the systems used
*because* it's commercial. There is someone accountable if a problem
like a trojan shows up.
