I think we're just waiting on someone to come up with a graphic that
either wins widespread acceptance, or favor from the Co-Maintainers.
It's a difficult challenge. The reason for picking hippos is that
they're mean, because WJM here. How do you have a mean-looking hippo
that's also attractive? OpenSSH seems to strike a similar balance with
their puffer fish mascot, but then, the connection between security and
puffer fishes is obvious.
