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.

That's fine.

It's OK to do it without the symlinks. However, I think the naming
scheme is important. Shorten it to 1.3.1_r1 if you want, but somewhere
it should say "This is Debian 1.3.1 Revision 1".

Regarding timed releases, I'm not sure we have much to release other
than security fixes before 2.0 .

	Thanks
