If it were incidental, no problem.  But the NetBSD logo is so ugly that
I actively avoid the main web-page now.  (I used to go there on my way
to the mailing lists to check announcements, but after losing the nice
flag-raising splash graphic for the logo...ewww.)

If it is too readily suggesting NetBSD, it may strengthen the
impression, "Oh, pkgsrc.  That's only for NetBSD."

I'm going to stay away from repeating things that I said about,
e.g., the color scheme when the NetBSD logo was announced.  I'll
be strong.  (^&

Yeah, I know, but it's also the only pkgsrc-related list.  This
thread has absolutely nothing to do with NetBSD, per se; it does
have to do with pkgsrc.

More lists might be a good idea.
