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.

Ported to libc6 does not mean stable.  This is a major upgrade and it's
just not ready yet.  The purpose of a code freeze is not to debug the
system.  The system should be considered in a good and largely-debugged
state before that time.  The frozen period is for finding additional
bugs without having new ones introduced.

Some packages just won't compile with libc6.  My "infocom" package is one
of them.  Since it's based on a traditional unix system, I'd say that
libc6 is not fully unix-compatible yet.  That is in itself a problem.

There are currently 47 outstanding bugs against the libc6 package.  We need
some time for these to get fixed before we can consider preparing a release.
