No.  Your statement would be correct if Beastie were losing his status 
as the mascot.  Beastie is retaining his status as the mascot.

FreeBSD has a powerful, serious, professional side that Beastie does not 
express well.  I think a  new logo, in addition to having Beastie as a 
mascot, would help create an image for FreeBSD that is more complete 
and accurate.  A symbol should never become more important than the 
object/concept/principle it symbolizes.

All religious and Political Correctness issues aside, do you have any 
objections to a more complete and accurate image for FreeBSD?
