Maybe not. I am frustrated. If you have a suggestion for a positive
direction, I would like to hear it.
Since there has not been any progress, I have a basic suggestion that I
think we should start with. For F28, let's do what Endless OS does:
1. A nifty, quick boot animation with their logo and name
2. The logo on a panel in the corner of the screen, always visible and
always on
This may not be perfect, but let's start by following what they're
doing, and we can refine from there as designers come up with even
better ideas.

Sure. But: I think we're doing well on that front. All of this stuff as
Christian points out is *awesome*:

We can do more, and we will, but I don't think we need to hold back for
*perfect*.

I know some who rarely use it.
