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 say it's their problem, and it's what PR departments are for.  They
should turn this "bug" into a feature.

  "We're MegaDistrib and we provide CD's of the fastest moving
   Linux distribution in the world.  As a result your software will be
   so much shinier than your non-Debian neighbor's.

   To keep up with those crazy developers, we pledge to provide the
   latest version of this extremely timely OS as soon as reasonably
   possible, and so much sooner than any of our competitors."

We should release new versions whenever they improve the OS for our
users.  Delaying versions to make CD distributors just hurts net users
for no reason.  Not delaying releases doesn't hurt any users.
