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.

I still do not see any advantage in doing it.
As you said Andreas, 90% marketing, but I do not see any marketing
advantage. I said that package locations etc are not standard
across distributions and you said we should fix that. If we fix
everything, then at what point do Debian and Redhat stop
being separate entities?

Are we in competition with Redhat? I think we are from an advocacy
point of view, but since this is a volunteer non-profit project
I don't think we are from a financial point of view.
