I asked the administrators of freedesktop to remove the PDF attachment<br>
from the mailinglist archive - which they've thankfully managed to do<br>
swiftly, hopefully before spreading and getting mirrored further. If<br>
anyone has concerns about that, it can be brought up with<br>
<a href="mailto:sitewranglers@lists.freedesktop.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">sitewranglers@lists.freedesktop.org</a><br>
<br>
<a href="http://freedesktop.org" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">freedesktop.org</a> as our host has its own code of conduct which can be<br>
seen here: <a href="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/CodeOfConduct" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/CodeOfConduct</a><br>
