Those who are outsiders now are potential future contributors. If we
look like constantly fighting with desktop team and even our leader we
aren't going to attract new contributors :-(

The current wallpaper works, if I'd compared it to software, it has less
bugs than KDE 4.0 had and we shipped that one as well ;-); the process
clogs on not having enough people being able/apt to contribute to
wallpaper design (frankly, for me wallpaper is way beyond my skills, so
I at least try to help a little with the wiki pages management,
packaging and feedback). 

Looking at it realistically: yes, short-time the end product is more
important, but long-time if the process is broken, there's bound to
appear a case when the end product fails (which IMHO isn't F15 -- we
produced two rather fine-looking wallpapers, even though one of them
would certainly profit from little polishing). Hence I put them on
equal terms.
