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.

	We can also help out the CF retailers by only producing the
 1.3 official CD's -- and make it explicit that the point updates are
 meant to be ftp updates for the most part.

	I realize we would like to help our CD retailers, and hence
 our sales, but not at the expense of a technically inferior release
 strategy (updating 1.3.1 in place is bad).

	Not updating the point version, but providing dates is just a
 variation -- then I would want the Septemmber version of the
 1.3 on CD, and not touch the august version. What exactly have we
 bought the CD retailers by keeping the version number constant but
 adding dates to distinguish releases?

	IMHO, we should not restrict point releases for reasons other
 than that stable should mean stable: only security (and possibly
 major functionality fixes) go into stable, but they go in as needed.
