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.

And this, I believe, is as it should be.

I've heard from very reasonable people that they don't like Debian.
Why?  Because they think that the "stable" releases are too old and
contain too many bugs, which are fixed in more recent upstream versions,
so they need to install from "unstable" (which, of course, may well
break other things).

We are going to be shipping with more than 2000 unresolved bug reports
in our database.  Yes, I'm aware that many of these don't affect normal
users (such as "package still in old format"), and that some bug reports
are only hanging on because they haven't been cleaned out properly after
a new release.  Still, that's a very large number, and installing
a pure bugfix in the present situation is a Good Thing(IMHO).
