Are we reading the same poll. The majority do *NOT* want it by default.. the
numbers for no:
No logo by Default 29%
[we'd like a logo.. but we don't care to see it. we will probably enable it
once, then turn it off forever.. basically the same as a kernel patch :)]
Just Leave it Alone 9%
[i don't want to even view the logo once]
Who Cares? 27%
[it's not a life threatening problem. i'm surprised someone actually gives a
damn about this sort of thing and they should probably be shot for not
working on something more important.]
------------------------------
total: 65%
The numbers for yes:
Logo by Default 34%
[we like eye candy. we will settle for simple ASCII, but then we will want
320x200@8bpp, then that will not satisfy us and we will want 640x480@8bpp,
then someone will modify it to 32bpp. then someone will create the ultimate
1280x1024@32bpp. but wait, i want more, need animation and maybe a little
interactivity until finally we have a game before we boot.]
------------------------------
total: 34%
Really, this poll wasn't put together well. It should have stated how big of
a patch it would take to add something like this... I would guess that the
people who say "No logo by Default" would have voted "Just Leave it Alone"
if they knew it was going to waste RAM.
