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.

The ones who are concerned with inventory rotting will promote this.
There is a balance - it makes more sense to buy 2.0 on CD because
_everything_ changes, until then it makes sense to FTP. But some people
just can't FTP from their homes - they live in countries where the post
office controls the phone system (Germany), etc.
