Lets all back away from the imflammatory language.

1) It is a draft.
2) It has been said to use as a guideline for F15.

So lets a fix it and move on. [And not bring it up again unless it
breaks again.]

Use old fedora themed artwork. It has been accepts and covers this.

Fedora Desktop has been accepted by various groups as the Gnome
desktop. I don't like it, you don't like it, but guess what.. bringing
it up every couple of emails just makes sure this turns into something
people will only be satisfied by leaving Fedora.

I would say if it has been entered into the trac by alpha and clearly
marked as being needed you have met that.

It should be. And if it means we drop all our spins... I am ok with that.

Then we need to fix that. Who can do it and what is needed. Since this
is a legal requirement, we need to fix this asap.
