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.

And when serious bugs are discovered, what do we do?  And they will
be.

hamm is rapidly moving toward libc6.  Installing something out of
there requires installing 20 other packages first.

It's much easier to upgrade if the patches are folded back in.  And
any serious bug fix should go back to bo.
