If they maintain the defaults and the logo is the Drupal logo and the
site name is "Drupal", this is perfectly accurate. If they change the
logo and site name, then it's still accurate. If they change one, but
not the other, then they've introduced an accessibility issue that you
can't and shouldn't need to account for.
