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.

Re: Clarification about the idea to "split the distribution"

The problem is in package dependencies, for example library packages
must be recompiled first.  More packages means longer and wider chains.

But I also think we rather need some orphaning mechanism--not actively
maintained packages would be orphaned automatically.  This would allow
to solve some problems (like almost infinite waiting for everything
being converted to libc*) and to find new maintainers for only seemingly
maintained packages more quickly.

The proposal seems to me being much more call for reorganizing FTP
archive (which can be reasonable, base distribution on 1 CD + various
add-ons seems to be good idea) than anything else.  I don't think we
should split the distribution into well maintained core and badly
maintained additional parts (like RedHat actually is).  The whole
distribution should be high quality.
