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.

But I suspect that when  1.3.1_revision_1 will be ready, the CD
manifacturers will have problems to sell the old 1.3.1 CD. Perhaps we can
put only the updates in i.e. bo-updates, and put in the top-level debian 
directory a empty file named LAST_UPDATED_10-10-97. The debian users will
can put these packages int the directory reserved for the local packages,
and will can use dselect without problems.
