Dmitry, you have full SVN write access, don't you? You can commit it
without any bug reports.
There could be more variations. Swastika has been drawn standing on
its side, clockwise and counter-clockwise, and standing on its corner.

It has a very long and rich history. It is a nice looking symbol and
for that reason has been so popular during the millenniums.
It is used in Russian Orthodox religion and many other religions
especially in Asia. It has been used in Finnish traditions and art
always. It was a symbol of many military air-forces including Finnish
air-force from its beginning.
And so on ...

Then it is time to change that association.
Maybe it is a cultural thing but here most people understand the big
picture and don't judge the symbol itself.
Maybe you and Anthony don't know the history of that symbol? Please study it!
To me your opinions seem very narrow-minded, sorry to say.
