         FWIW, it doesn't look remotely like one to me or anyone else
         currently
         discussing it in #fedora-devel.

If anything looks even remotely like anything that brings up the
horrors of Nazi Germany, including a swastika, it REALLY should be
removed, lest we become fodder for some really nasty kickback from
Jewish people. This  decision to include such might encourage people
like Bill Gates - who is also a political scientist, aside from
abusing the public with his Microsoft stuff - fuel to kill our
organisation - and perhaps Linux as a whole - via the courts.

There really isn't any need for alarmism. We're talking about

No-one is getting sued into oblivion by Bill Gates or anyone else. Why
do so many people seem to want to default to OMG PANIC! mode these days?
