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.
