[ logo ] Hey, thanks.  It's always fun to see logos.

Honestly I try not to take the name part too seriously.  At the end of
the day the filesystem is only a small part of what makes the OS an OS
and its a good idea to have some fun with it.

I've always said butterfs, but betterfs and btreefs are allowed for
anyone who can't bring themselves to say butterfs in public.
