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.

Re: release numbering change decision

This sounds like a good idea and an excellent compromise.  Basically,
it has the things I was needing (security fixes integrated into the
distribution) while keeping the CD-ROM vendors happy because it
"looks" like the same thing.

Thanks,
John Goerzen
