Everyone knows that Migel likes monkeys. It is to be expected that Mono's
logo will be a monkey.
I actually like Ximian naming everything after a monkey (Ximan, mono,
bonobo). I think it's cute. Sort of a personal touch.
If people don't like this particular monkey, mabye we could use a
*different* monkey?
