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.

Both solutions are quite reasonable interpretations.  Both would
largely keep currently non-free and main packages where they are.  The
only differences is that the first interpretation moves some contrib
packages to non-free.

So that we might get a better handle on this alternative, could you,
Christian, go through the packages in contrib and list the ones that
would and would not be moved to non-free?

This discussion is, of course, closely related to the one on whether
to include contrib on the official CD.  If we go with the first
alternative, we could in good faith include contrib packages on the
CD.
