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 understand your concerns, but I am even more concerned about
 the project making value judgements on packages (some people may
 argue against doom/quake/games being included in serious OS
 distributions ;-).

	I think I like what fortune does .. it asks me if I want to
 yank objectionable parts of the fortune database, so the installer
 can optionally opt out of embarrasing situations. 

	Would that be acceptable?

 try to believe that you are imposed upon by your own bluster. Leslie
