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.

The consensus, after discussion with the eminent upstream PowerPC
developpers, is that 'powerpc' is the actual name to be used (GNU
programs already do since a long while), and that 'ppc' although a
practical shortcut is not the name of the architecture.

Therefore, "powerpc" is already in use:
1/ the 250 packages for powerpc are compiled with this architecture.
2/ master already have a 'binary-powerpc' section.

So I agree we should change the mailing-list name.
