For my part, I'm totally against diminishing the significance of Beastie in any way shape or form. Putting my money where my mouth is, I just came from the FreeBSD Mall, where (cheapskate that I am), I bought 3 shirts and 4 bumper stickers. And in the past, I've only ever worn or used logos if they were for the Red Sox, the Patriots (and even those sparingly), or a free shirt. Hey, free is free, right? That said, I certainly won't be moving to another OS if Beastie should disappear. He's not the reason I fell in love with FreeBSD. Of course, I'll still dig up the Beastie images where I can and put them back where they belong. I fully intend to keep Beastie visible in all my FreeBSD systems. Of course (at the risk of starting a *real* holy war), I'm a recovered Catholic (read: "raving athiest"), so maybe my opinions and support won't carry much weight.
