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.

Don't forget the "silent majority". 

That's one of our problems, and has been pointed out a few times before.
We have ~150 developers, but only a few post regularly to debian-* lists,
and the ones who agree with a proposal tend to be quiet (anti-AOL syndrome), 
so it's easy to get a distorted view of the developer's opinion.

At least we have to reorganize the distribution a little. Things like
Fabrizio's "docs" distribution comes to mind. Perhaps we should set that
reorganization as a goal for Debian 2.1
