I agree as well. I'm really familiar with the song, played it on BeOSRADIO for
years, but the music in the song doesn't strike me as a good fit for operating
system startup music. Some sort of inspiring musical flourish would seem like
a better bet. OTOH, including the song as a part of a bonus track package
might be a nice nostalgic touch if we have permission.
