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.

At Central Point each developer had 'unstable' local and there was one
'stable' machine.  I was in charge of compiling all source on the
'stable' machine.  It has been my experiance as a developer, that we'd
quickly make that machine 'unstable' to keep up...

I'd propose two machines.  Current and Current++ that would serve as
sample target machines.  Keeping the Current machine as close to the
release environment as possible.  Current++ would be useful for the
major revisions such as the libcX changes.  Not all developers want a
personal machines out on the bleeding edge.

Just an idea, you asked.
