I appreciate what you are trying to do here, but to be honest, if I had
wanted to work on the Gnome 3 look and feel I had joined the Gnome Design
Team. As it stands, I have chosen to work on Fedora's design and you can't
deny that you are trying to substantially neuter the impact of our team and
of Fedora branding as a whole here...

So I guess what you're saying is that wallpapers should be upstream from now
on and we should divert our attention elsewhere?
