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 would suspect any program that uses some "unusual" network structures 
would be in trouble too.  Certainly all programs that use the ax25.h and
friends includes need some re-work.

A good rule of thumb is if the source #includes something from linux/*.h
and something like socket.h then you could have some trouble.  The problem
is not that the libc6 includes are "bad" (though there have been some bugs)
but they are different. IMHO, the libc6 includes are "better".
