In any case, this is not just a visual design question, it's a branding
and marketing question just as much, and a general communication and
positioning question as well.

I'm vetoing any move to released software at the very least until the
logo has changed. I also don't think that a technical review of the
code is enough to warrant us to ship liquidshell as a finished product,
for the reasons that Martin Flöser pointed out. It would harm KDE as a
whole and Plasma specifically (ironically, the product that you use
most parts from).

Cheers,
