I'm very much supportive of advertising the GNOME brand. While I don't expect to
see a big foot on the desktop, I think there's definitely a place for it
somewhere. GNOME (in my opinion) is getting increasing industry support, and I
believe at some point in the near future will be an advantage to associate with
that brand.
