I'm kind of tempted to bikeshed this a bit and say we should throw a
different ASCII art animal for an error when we've configured the NPU
for OpenCAPI. Part of the joy of the cow error has been being able to
map "customer complains of cow error" immediately over to "send bug to
NVIDIA".

Maybe we need a goat or a sheep? IS the theme for the NPU commonly
milked animals?

Also, why is ASCII art licensing information so hazy and weird. I don't
want to have to have a conversation with lawyers about some ascii art
goat from a BBS in the mid 1980s...

Although maybe a Capybara is more of a CAPI related animal?

I guess the reality is that it's currently an overloaded cow, and we
probably don't need to have a misleading overloaded cow as OpenCAPI
support comes in....

Maybe we need to raid what's in Cowsay :)
