Visually I think it's a decent logo.

We would want to avoid the "Debian Iceweasel" issue. I've not tried to understand
whether this is a problem with the terms of use.

To me, the logo choice looks like a proxy for the more fundamental question,
"do we like Vinnie Falco and the C++ Alliance and the work they are doing?".

Less than a month ago, Kristen Shaker told us that "there is no viable path
forward for further coordination between The C++ Alliance and The Boost
Foundation". I have not seen any announcement reversing that decision.
I guess that there has been some private discussion and that Vinnie is no
longer persona non grata - am I right?

Regards, Phil.
