Not wildly - but our current use of the brand is *very* relevant, and it
keeps at least some of the association with garden gnomes out of the way.

We would have to actively change the brand for 'Gnome' to be correct, so I
find it very disappointing that some people within the project are actively
muddying the waters on this issue. (Not Alan - he's just being noisy.)
