It's good to get the authoritative answer!

Nice bunny -- at first (in tiny icon size) I thought it might be a
Pokemon, maybe a cuddly thing that turns into a fighting monster..
Of course, it could still be that!

Actually, it looks closer to a Mokona...

Several people asked for one, so see

[9fans] the Plan 9 "bunny"

[Leo Caves]

( see http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9dist/screenshot.html )

with so much of substance to discuss with the new release (and
as I don't have the right hardware to install just now) I thought
I would muse on the symbolism of the plan 9 bunny...

1/ bunnies vs. penguins ?

bunny:  faster, more (re)productive (effective plumbing?),
	extensive networks, prone to colonisation, cuddly.

penguin: rather slow and unstable (on land), limited area of operation,
         rather formal attire(?)


2/ Night of the Lepus

although not one of Ed Wood's productions, this is widely regarded
as one of the (best) worst films of all time.  the premise
rests on the belief that large bunny == scary bunny.

Heh, for me, the bunny means one thing - Usagi Tsukino :P
That alone makes it worth using.
