This has already been discussed/voted on in the Board a couple of times. Are there any new arguments or data points here?

'custom wallpaper' should probably be explicitly defined, as it can be read to mean different things (especially if there are desktops with *no* default artwork.) > == Marketing & PR opportunity == > > GNOME 3 and F15 is an opportunity to create some mutual wins. ... snip ... > NOTE THAT THE ABOVE DOES NOT PREVENT FEDORA FROM DOING VERY SIMILAR > THINGS WHEN NEW VERSIONS OF OTHER DESKTOPS ARE RELEASED.

Especially given the current state of spins (if someone shows up to maintain, help, etc. we ship them, if they don't, we don't), I don't think it makes sense to commit to this as something we'd do for arbitrary desktops. Now, if we change the policies around spins, it may make more sense.
