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.

Re: slowing down point releases

I find this whole discussion quite odd.  Are we really too fast?

1.3.x point releases don't really matter - they're going to just be 
security releases, and such.  I've never seen Netscape delay a major
security fix because they don't want to upset their distributors.

Maybe the distributors that are concerned about shelf life can just say 
that they are selling Debian 1.3.x and not mention the minor version 
number.  Another possibility is we change our version numbering to
something like:  1.3.0.1, 1.3.0.2, 1.3.0.3, etc.

Their product will only become obsoleted when 2.0 comes out.  Based on
our past performances in getting releases out in a timely manner,
they will have lots of time for "shelf life."  :-)

Cheers,

 - Jim
