Because they don't want to and there's no need to either. The decision will 
be made by the admin team and we're currently voting.

FWIW I voted for allowing the use of the logo for promotional material 
excluding a Haiku CD. IMHO nobody should distribute an official Haiku 
version until we've reached at least alpha state. And yes, I discriminate 
between mirroring the daily builds on a server which requires testers to 
proactively download them, and pushing CDs to people who might never have 
heard of Haiku before.

CU, Ingo
