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 aggreed entirely with Bruce and you on this issue. I think Manoj 
work on some libraries too. If we can make dpkg independant from the UI, may
be we will see more different interfaces (for more different people) appear.

new based installation, new selection tools, cleaner standard and development
tools, a new organization scheme including a BOD... Whenever it comes, we 
could call it Debian 2.0, isn't?
