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.

In between, there could be a point similar to "The project shall take  
extra pains to make sure that important packages ("standard" and better)  
work well together, but not via a separate group."

Again, I miss an "in between" point, approximately describing the previous  
practice - or maybe you meant that with the first point, and I'm only  
confused because of the earlier "split and one part is free-only" mail?

Something like "non-free is fine, as long as it's clearly separate". I  
fear my English is not good enough for this one.
