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.

The release candidate wasn't a release candidate.  It's that simple.
You can't update packages, and not test them.  I complained multiple
times - but was consistently ignored, or flamed.  We were using
bad testing methodologies, and it makes us look worse than we
really are.  (That, and taking three days to change a symlink)

I noticed that there was new stuff in bo, even this morning.

Got bo/binary-all/doc/lg-issue17_1-1.deb 442332
Got bo/binary-all/doc/lg-issue16_1-3.deb 275546
Got bo/binary-all/devel/automake_1.0-4.deb 151504
Got bo/binary-all/devel/kernel-headers-2.0.30_2.0.30-7.deb 712256
Got bo/binary-all/devel/kernel-headers-2.0.29_2.0.29-7.deb 699938

Presumably, this stuff has not been widely tested.

At least, nobody is going to confuse us with Microsoft.  :-)
