should not recommend directly printing source SVG for hexagonal-sticker

[Joost van Baal-Ilić]

Hi Tianyu Chen,

Thanks for your interest in Debian Flyers, and for your insightfull ideas on
our hexagonal stickers!  Unfortunately, I don't know much about svg layers and
our stickers: the files have been contributed by others.  So: if you have any
specific suggestions / patches / salsa MR's, I'd be very willing to have a look
and apply those.  Would that work for you?

Thanks again, Bye,

Joost
