Comment (by cwickert):

 Jared, thanks for your reply. Ian, this is only half or the truth I'm
 afraid.

 AFAICS from the [http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-design/2011-01-04
 /fedora-design.2011-01-04-19.00.log.html meeting minutes] the agreement
 was
 to "[http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-design/2011-01-04/fedora-
 design.2011-01-04-19.00.log.html#l-258 have each desktop environment use
 its default wallpaper]" and ''only'' revisit this issue
 "[http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-design/2011-01-04/fedora-
 design.2011-01-04-19.00.log.html#l-288 if we receive any design proposals
 we can agree on]" by the [http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-
 design/2011-01-04/fedora-design.2011-01-04-19.00.log.html#l-209 deadline
 of January 18th]. Otherwise, "[http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-
 design/2011-01-04/fedora-design.2011-01-04-19.00.log.html#l-221 we
 automatically go with the upstream wallpaper]".

 So far "[http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-design/2011-01-04/fedora-
 design.2011-01-04-19.00.log.html#l-210 we dont have any submissions]", not
 to mention that the design-team has to ''agree'' on one. I think this is
 very unlikely because the driving force in the approach to use the
 upstream wallpaper is the leader of the design team. This is a de-facto
 decision that will not encourage any submissions. I feel we are presented
 a fait accompli rather than a decision that is open to further unbiased
 discussion.

 Even If I'm wrong here (and I'd love to be proven wrong) I consider this
 ticket useful to correct two false assumptions that the discussion of the
 design team was based on:
  * [http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-design/2011-01-04/fedora-
 design.2011-01-04-19.00.log.html#l-231 The wallpaper that is about to be
 designed ''might'' only used so there is no use spending time on it]. It
 ''definitely'' will be used.
  * [http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-design/2011-01-04/fedora-
 design.2011-01-04-19.00.log.html#l-246 All spins/desktops have their
 upstream artwork]. - No they don't not to mention the WMs we ship although
 they are not part of a spin.
