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.

Yes, no problem with that. We're talking about what we will accept into
Debian.

Because it ties our hands regarding system integration, among other things.
Such software belongs in a free software collection, not a well-integrated
and versatile free software system. We're trying to make the later. We're
trying to make it usable by people who would derive from it, and who would
port it to other kernels, window systems, and architectures.
