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.

Didn't we vote on this once?  dpkg is way better than rpm.  Please
don't bring these old, already decided issues to the fore incessently.
It is tiresome for me.

Instead of flamming I'll just say, NO!

RPM is NOT an open development project.  RPM has numerous technical
shortcomings and we don't have any way to get the changes needed
included in the upstream.  It is a closed cathedral-like project
proprietary to Red Hat.  Deity is even more open than Red Hat about the
design and future of its product!
