From a marketing perspective and branding, I would vote to keep it as 
well, and as Heiko suggested, a configuration switch. I have had some 
boxes where the bios branding would come up and I switched it off, but 
later back on ... it just made me feel more comfortable knowing that 
something was loading with a banner on.

But, also, IMO, it allows the marketing team a way of solidifying brand 
recognition when LibreOffice boots up and even sneaking in an extra 
message or sub-line if we wanted to.

But definitely yes to a switch, which would be a good choice.

Cheers,

Marc
