I certainly did file a complaint against generic-logos which has

the new standard applies to concerns outside of U.S as well.
That's the crux of the issue, "offensive" is really interpreted as
"offensive to people in the USA". That just does not make sense
for a worldwide distribution, nor even for an international
company.
This statement is blatantly false.
And I consider this to be blatantly naive. You will always find somebody
who complains about something and you will always find situations, which
were things are far from being clear.
Just consider the "F20 swastika background" and a Fedora release once
having been called "Werewulf". As a German, both incidents caused me to
"raise an eye-brow", but weren't worth it to make a fuzz about.
That said, it would seem common sense to me for FESCO to have contacted
some official representative of the "American Indian People" or the
"Cherokee Nation/People" and ask for their opinion.
Did this happen? What did these representatives say?
