we bought the drone.io domain name back before Drones were all over the news. We thought this definition of Drone, "a unit which takes commands from a primary source" made sense for a cloud-based CI solution.

It does make sense, but of course you can expect this useless line of comment to follow you around because certain people want to make everything about politics.

Follow you around like a drone eh? Look, we're not the ones who politicized the term. A robotic bee mascot is not going to put off people's discomfort. Which is unfortunate because it looks like a really promising tool for CI...

I would suggest making your logo evocative of the entomological meaning (e.g. a bee, ant, etc.), if you want to dispel that somewhat.
