In this situation, this isn't quite fair to say, either: members of
Fedora's desktop team approached me in a public channel with the request
since I serve as the lead of the Fedora design team. If I was not a Red
Hat employee but I was the design team lead, I am confident they would
still have approached me to ask.  

As has been pointed out before, now is a reasonable time in the F15
cycle to approach the design team and communicate the request - that is
exactly what was done in this case.
