Currently we need the firstboot and anaconda banners, which could be
based off the Alpha wallpaper.

If we want to take another stab at the wallpaper for post-Beta/GA, I
know that Mairin Duffy had collected some constructive critiques:

* Nicu, are you game to try addressing some of these critiques with a
  new wallpaper?

* Is there someone who would be willing to make the required
  firstboot/anaconda banners?  There are only a couple of these
  needed, and the current versions (meaning the sizes and composition
  needed) can be found in:

  /usr/share/firstboot/themes/fedora-constantine/
  /usr/share/anaconda/pixmaps/
