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.

This is the best proposal I've seen so far.  We only release an "Official"
CD image every [three] months.  If there are some really huge updates like
the switch from XFREE 3.2 -> 3.3, we could create a "Debian 1.3 updates"
CDROM image.  These would likely be custom pressed, and they would
probably cost more as a result.  On the other hand, we won't be hurting
the companies which will continue to sell our Official CD's at under $10
even with a $5 donation.  I'm guessing that LSL got stuck with their 1.3.0
CD's this time, and that's after they made some gracious overtures to us,
including the original offer of free CD's to developers.

Thanks.  Syrus.
