Avoid displaying logos that are not yours near login fields. Someone surfing the web might mistakenly believe that the logo represents your website, and they might be misled into entering personal information into your site that they intended for the other site. Furthermore, we can’t always be sure that you aren’t doing this intentionally, so we might block your site just to be safe. To prevent misunderstandings, we recommend exercising caution when displaying these logos.

It's a login to the WordPress software administration panel, The WordPress logo fits in that case.
If someone is using WordPress as a user-centric site, then a skinned login page is a must, And that scenario will fit in with the quote given.
Multisite will make this a bit murky, since for MS its more user-facing than a standard WordPress installation, But having the login page templatable will take care of both of these factors i think.
Closing as a duplicate of #11172 any discussion about the potential removal of the WordPress logo would probably be better discussed on the wp-hackers mailing list, to get more non-core-developer opinions.
