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 don't follow; you said it's 90% marketing that then that it is "very
important" to switch?

Why are we suddenly obsessed by marketing?  What not quality?  And
what of the features that we would look?

Why?

Why must this be a popularity contest?  I don't care if there are
people that don't use Debian.

Debian and RedHat are different animals.  I see Debian as aimed at the
power user and RedHat as aimed at the novice.  There is no pressing
need to merge, IMHO.
