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 agree.

We really ought to be able to come up with a way of not having non-us as a 
visible part of the distribution.

non-us is something that is imposed on us by US laws, but if that were not the 
case, these packages would just be part of the main distribution (or 
contrib/non-free as appropriate).

So why don't we forget about non-us as a separate section, and then come up 
with a way of providing the packages on sites outside the US, and masking them 
out for the US sites.

This way CD-ROM manufacturers outside the US could just mirror a non-US ftp 
server and burn a Debian-international disk.

I think I've worked out a reasonably simple way of doing this, but the 
explanation is complicated and tedious --- rather than clogging up the list, 
why don't we discuss this in private mail, or on a sub list (is there one for 
ftp site administration ?).

Cheers, Phil.
