Yes, Helvetica is famous. I still don't think it's a reason to put it
in base typography.

Specified fonts are good for Mac and Windows, and i can even see why
they would put Helvetica there since Safari is great in rendering
fonts and Helvetica looks ok in it i guess.

But besides being famous and looking good in Safari, Helvetica is just
ugly everywhere else and i don't think her usage in Blueprint has any
valid argument.

I would really like to hear comments from someone on core team on this.
Or at least warn me if I'm being silly.
