Exactly.
 From the logo design competition 
(http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-advocacy/2004/01/14/0001.html):

Judgment criteria

The new NetBSD logo has such a bad (narrow) letter spacing that the 
letters will "melt" on printed media when the logo is downsized.

How can such a logo be chosen if it does not meet an important criteria?
