I don't think there will necessarily be brand confusion, but I do think
that our brand would be slightly weakened if this proposal passes.  One
of the reasons that I always stick with the default wallpaper (aside
from how great it looks) is so that anybody who even gets a glance of my
screen can tell that I'm running Fedora, and maybe even strike up a
conversation about it :-).  While all of the other branding is still
very important, the wallpaper is really the only piece that will be seen
by other people, and I don't want to lose that by default.

Thanks,
Ricky
