This whole idea has been vetoed and scrapped a great many times before, and for very valid reasons. Read the archives and respect the conclusions drawn. If you can't live w/o a fancy penguin logo and a progress bar, hack the silly thing for yourself and don't bother others with it. Ideas like yours remind me just how GREAT it is that Linus is so hard to get to accept patches. People are constantly trying to get such a tremendous quantity of absolute junk into the tree that it ceases to be funny. -- Tomas Szepe PS.
