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 think christoph may have been on the right track b/4.  Lets create a 
dialog with Red Hat to make a new package managment system, call it 
RPM2.  It should address all of our and Red Hat's concerns and try to 
bring more harmony to the tulmutous Linux universe.

This may be wishfull thinking though,
