We felt bad because there weren't guidelines in place when we were asked, but I hope the requestors are under no illusions that this is anything but a late-in-the-cycle request. If anyone is afraid of blame please place the blame on me. It's my fault if this doesn't ship for F14. Nobody should be blaming rel-eng for *anything* here, nor setting them up to be blamed. > >> As an aside, I strenuously object to the requirement of "Fedora themed > >> boot screens, or not boot screens at all."

Why wouldn't it be appropriate? Is my custom Hello Kitty spin with all Fedora graphics replaced by cute pink kittens fair game then? Should it be? ~m _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
