[arch-general] Arch should be apolitical

[Kevin Dodd]

The FOSS movement was called a "movement" for a reason. It was always 
about giving power to the people who would otherwise have none, and 
getting the boots of the powerful off of their backs. Pride month fits 
that ethos perfectly.

If you don't want to see the logo, you can either use custom CSS or 
simply ignore it. This is such a non-problem.
