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 fact is that packages are still being uploaded to incoming
for frozen - here is the current list headed for the frozen
distribution:

# grep "Dist.*frozen" *.changes
alien_3.3_i386.changes:Distribution: frozen
amd_upl102-12_i386+m68k.changes:Distribution: frozen unstable
ftpwatch_1.2_i386.changes:Distribution: frozen
lg-issue16_1-3_i386.changes:Distribution: frozen unstable
lg-issue17_1-1_i386.changes:Distribution: frozen unstable
qt1_1.2-5_i386.changes:Distribution: frozen non-free
xfree86_3.2-6_i386.changes:Distribution: frozen unstable

So forgive me if I didn't get the impression that you
were testing the "release candidate".

Since you obviously aren't yet - when the QA team feels it is
appropriate (probably after the critical bug is fixed), they 
should announce on debian-devel-announce that no more uploads 
will be allowed into frozen (even to correct bugs) - and
testing will commence on the "release candidate" build
for a few days.  Then, when no critical bugs have turned up,
the actual release should be made.

In case I sound too critical, I'd like to express my thanks for 
all the hard work you guys are doing on the testing...  

Cheers,

 - Jim
