The current "slogan" for 3.8 is "Free, Functional & Secure". My opinion
is that it presents the project goals well in 4 simple words. It is not
boastful, remember "Nothing is Impossible", or aims to create false
belief/concept. We have our fair share of those, just switch on your TV.
Theo and others did and are still doing a great job in sticking to the
project goals. Didn't know how the "Secure By Default" phrase came
about, I do agree that it can be misleading for your case. You could
refer your mother or nontechnical friends to the Project Goals page(not
too long, 2 pages on my system). Also, I believe Theo and others would
give it some consideration if you can come up with a better "slogan".
Last I recall - Secure by Default was based on a default installation.
And If I recall, it's stated on the site. If users can't take the time
to read what's here - they should not run something as complex as ANY Unix.
So, why is everyone out to change everything and anything about the BSD's?
First it was NetBSD and its logo, then FreeBSD went and did something
likewise, now we have this nimbrod suggesting to someone that he/she
ought to come up with a new slogan - and that project would do well to
consider it?!
It the project team feels things are great as is, leave it alone.
Besides, don't you have more to do with your life then to start some
crusade about nothing that needs to be changed?
Life calls - you should answer mate.
