The logo is temporary, and I'd rather keep it the way it is so that a
simple revert will fix things up again..
That said, even if it wasn't temporary, I think we might be better off
with the raw format that the netpbm tools generate these days. It was
actually slightly annoying to get that big diff from a small edit, and
it was the result of either the original logo ASCII representation
having been cleaned up excessively before, or possibly just the netpbm
tools having changed their output radically.
Of course, it would be even better if we actually used some saner
format. I'm not exactly artistic, so making that whole silly logo
change took more time than it really should have. But what was
*really* painful was to fight the horrible ppm format conversion
issues, and how we only accept that legacy ascii version etc.
I guess it doesn't matter, since it's not like that thing normally
changes, so it's likely not really worth fixing. But it did make me go
"does it really have to be this arcane?"
