I agree with you completely...this "Power the Future" is totally un-haiku and
nevertheless still around,
unfortunately.
Maybe you want to add some Haikus (see:
http://haiku-os.org/wiki/index.php?title=Haikus).
I wouldn't want to conclude -as time goes by till R1- that Haikus are
considered an afterthought.
That would be a Grand Mistake...
Cheers,
Meanwhile
