Now, that "we" seems to actually be a "me". I'm not hearing too many people
saying that it's a Bad Thing to use, but just the reverse. Most people WANT
to use him. Dawn's against it, but I'm not hearing a lot of other
resistance. If Mozilla is a community project, and the general community
wants to use the green Mozilla, and Netscape's amenable to it, I think it's
the obvious choice. When I talk with clients (end users) about Netscape,
I've asked about the lizard, and they have no clue what I'm talking about.
_WE_ know about the lizard, but when NS went Corporate, they stuck Moz on
the first bus out of Mountain View for a long time.

As someone in the bug comments said, the wheel sucks, IMHO. And when did the
Revolution font become "official"? It's a nice banner font, but the italic M
in the throbber and Giovanni's icons is much nicer. (God I hate the term
throbber. When I hear throbber I think headaches and 'something else', not
animated icons. =-] )
Frankly, I think we're looking at a situation where we need some voting to
be done, to get these issues straightened out. And I highly doubt Giovanni's
icons will be voted down.
