Well ultimately that's your call to make. There are a number of people
though, who don't really like the VLC icon being changed during the
holidays.  If you look at the forum:
http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=85546 you'll see that it was
mentioned that someone should submit a patch to at least have the option
to not be forced to have a changing icon.  So, how is this option
pointless?
