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.

I shouldn't have said 'dropping'.  I don't think they are throwing any of
the old code out.  But they are switching to Java as the primary language
which they are pushing.  All of the NextStep API's will be 100% accessible
from Java (if they aren't already).  Makes sense, since Java ripped off 
quite a few concepts from Objective C (and Smalltalk, and C++, and even 
Lisp).  So, most of those Apple developers are probably going to be learning 
Java, instead of Objective C.

Maybe we need Kaffe-GNUStep integration?

Cheers,
