Comment (by KapiX):
Distributions are not allowed to use Haiku name by default, that includes
messages generated by the system and bundled apps. There is a configure
option to switch to non-official build, which removes them (most visible
effect is missing Haiku logo at boot screen).
I don't remember whether it was decided to not use Haiku name in messages
at all, because I can't find any references to it in source code:
https://xref.landonf.org/source/search?q=HAIKU_OFFICIAL_RELEASE&defs=&refs=&path=&hist=&type=&project=haiku
@PulkoMandy, @waddlesplash: can you shed some light about this?
Anyway, having Haiku mentioned with no way to disable it makes it
burdensome to create an unofficial build and distribute it.
BTW there is still a similar TODO in mount_server:
