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: Release of 1.3.2?

	Oh? I was under the impression that we were going to continue
 with point updates as and when required (security reasons being
 touted as an example), but only hace official CD images for non-point
 (i.e. 1.3) releases; this allows the CD manufacturers to get a return
 on the investment, and people can then upgrade incrementally. (I like
 the idea of being able to identify a distribution with just a version
 number, and being able to reproduce that version, rather than
 waffling with a number *AND* a date, and not knowing really what
 versions of anything were present in that number on that particular
 day (and possibly, that particular time)).

	We could even put a blurb on the archive sites to the effect
 that CD distributions track major releases, and point releases are
 small bug fixes meant to be incrementally updated.

	I'm sorry if I missed the conclusion of the debate and am
 stirring up a can of worms.
