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.

Could you run 1.3.1 for a year? How about two years? Lots of systems
have run 1.1 for a long time, and they don't seem to have done badly.
The old "master.debian.org" was one of them, I think.

_You_ may not want to run that software for that long, but for some people
the answer is yes, and they would not mind being a few versions behind.

The problem for us is providing them an upgrade path.

	Thanks
