Now that I saw the wine bottle, I can't unsee it. If the Devuan majority
does not choose to go with this fork / bottle chimera, please rework it
to a side by side bottle green and silver version and sell it to a Wine
& Dine start up or a Bordeaux wine chateau! It's an idea too brilliant
to let it linger unused. Or maybe the WINE team could adopt it, isn't
their thing some kind of fork for the Windows libraries?

I love the idea of the tree shape (possibly in a kind of natural,
Uffington horse-like style). Like for many of us who have grown into the
Linux world, the sprouting of Potato was the first time seeing Debian
come to life and a good part of our working life has taken shape with Woody.

For an alternative take on the Debian swirl and the lowercase Delta, I
have been thinking of variations on a Möbius strip or (back on the topic
of drinks again) a Klein bottle. What intrigues me is that with these
shapes the insiders and outsiders are not on different planes, they're
all on one side.

I have to do some other work now, but i'll definitely try to give your
ideas a follow-up this weekend.
