GIMP has easter eggs.

My point is, both commerical software and open source software has easter
eggs.  It's a part of life, and a part of programming.  It doesn't make
software less safe or less professional or less trustworthy.

Heck, the fact that we have easter eggs is even a part of our Wikipedia
entry (and, no I didn't put it there, although I'm planning to add the other
2 if someone doesn't beat me to it).

There is no point to remove easter eggs.  It's not going to get us in more
schools.  It's not going to make us more popular.  It's only going to (and
already has) waste time, effort, and coding.
