Yow. Everyone's been taking grumpy pills recently.
Gene, you sent in this PR;

> Everybody says that FreeBSD is fantastic and rock stable. I found that there is truth in it. But I am not pleased to see a devil's emblem to be used for FreeBSD logo.

This, basically, isn't going to happen, as other people have pointed
out. The little horned guy ("beastie") in the FreeBSD (and NetBSD,
OpenBSD, and quite possibly BSDi) logo has a long heritage with the
BSD operating system.
You can find a little more information about this at
http://www.FreeBSD.org/copyright/daemon.html
which includes quotes, links to earlier pictures, and a company you can
buy stuffed daemon plushies from.
In the meantime, don't be surprised if this PR gets closed :-)
