release slogan, round 2.

[Larry Cafiero]

Just putting this out there for discussion, or not: Is $SLOGAN=NONE still an
option? Looking at the distro landscape, it appears that we're the only ones
that do it -- and if we're not the only ones doing it, that would affirm my
main point that slogans may be so secondary to any distro's release name
that they are irrelevant.
