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.

Howver, what isn't that going to be tha main reason for updates, security or 
stability reason?  It might actually make sense to go with RedHat's slipstream 
idea, cause we can sell the CD, and then all a person has to do is install it
with the packages they want, then run dselect and ftp over a new pacakge file and dselect will tell them what packages have been upgraded, w/o any searching or hard work by the user.  We could also work out a schedule with the CD makers
for a good method of mastering CD's (say every 2 months or whatever).  We could 
also ask them to mark the CD's as Debian 1.3 (July, 97), so people can tell if
it includes the updates.

Hows does this sound?
