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.

No, but you can freeze something which is called frozen but is not yet
frozen.  You are doing a fine job, but I am concerned about the final
stable release.  I don't quite understand the change between frozen
and stable.  I believe that any modification to frozen should almost
automatically postpone the release date for stable, so that the new
version of frozen can be tested.  I don't know whether this is
happening.  I am trying to understand the process.

I am concerned partly because of the problems with the 1.2 stable
release, which had many bugs, including some of my own.  The process
is better this time, but I'm still fuzzy on some of the details.
