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.

Let me think about it -- I'm actually surprised that OpenBSD shipped
with it, but then, OpenBSD has a *very* bad reputation in a couple of
ways (or maybe it's just personalities -- I hang out with too many
NetBSD core team people :-) and would have expected that having early
access would still have *prevented* me from releasing a version
sooner.

I have no interest in packaging betas, for example (they'd have to go
in non-free.)  More importantly, I'm not sure I can (or want to) sign
their NDA; I'd rather be free to actually use any fixes I have for a
debian release. 

What I'd rather do is stick to the openly released sources, and let
other people worry about the scheduling issues altogether.  I'm *not*
a manager/leader type, without supervision I'll fiddle with something
until it works, so I need external deadlines (and find it annoying to
have them "evaporate".)

ps. as of 1am US/Eastern, 1997/6/4, the 3.3 dir is still unreadable on
ftp.xfree86.org; going through the MIRRORS file, it's empty on
ftp.cs.umn.edu, unreadable on ftp.rge.com, redhat doesn't mirror them
anymore, iastate doesn't have it, despair.capecod.net seems empty (but
may just have a broken ls.)  That's all of them...
ftp.openbsd.org:/pub/software/OpenBSD/2.1/src is empty, and it would
be rude (and unuseful) to pull over the 44M src.tar.gz from
switzerland just to see what X code it has.
