I'm sorry to say that I agree. They're fun, but they do feel too cutesy 
detract somewhat from usability not just for newcomers, but even people 
who've been around Bucardo for a while.

Maybe to compensate we could get a nice new cute goat mascot to use in a 
logo to coincide with the Bucardo 5 release. :)
