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.

One good reason to have a service team for 1.3 is that 2.0 might take a
while to get done, and the source will diverge somewhat from the LIBC5
versions of programs. However, I do see problems - for example we would
have to be careful to keep the dependency hierarchy straight so that an
upgrade from 1.3 to 2.0 would not present problems. This requires some
policy but is not a big deal.

I think this is a good idea for the 1.3 to 2.0 transition. I'm not sure
it is necessary for 2.0 to 2.1, etc.
