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.

OK, that clears it up somewhat I (and I think some others) were thinking
the company would take over the non-free packages, but apparently you're just
thinking of moving the physical location of the files. Well, I guess most
mirrors will mirror both sites anyway, so that shouldn't make any
difference to me in the end.
