This quote is on our website: Yeah, I know :-) I wasn't talking about documenting *what* the daemon image is but about documenting the way to disable its appearance during boot time. Perhaps I didn't make myself as clear as I thought. > It's our problem if they keep nagging us. =) I like the way OpenBSD > just went in the direction of a new mascot with less negative > conotations and a cooler more modern design to boot.

A company spends a lot of money to "reeducate the masses" about their logos, their characteristics signs and any other thing that can be considered a public relations asset. Changing the logo of an existing project is a very bad move, IMHO. New projects do, of course, have the luxury of picking their new logos :-) Anyway, I don't mean this to be yet another revival of the dirty old thread. It just felt like asking if this particular detail of the boot loader should or should not be documented somewhere.
