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 also don't remeber the conclusion in which we decided eliminate
point releases. As far as I remember the original request was to make
them less frequent...

I thought that making next point release with new CD image is worth
when "updates" directory becomes too "full" to be able to download
everything from there without big trouble.

Thank you.
