I would say that making the default desktop image distinctly different from at least the previous release helps immensely from a release marketting perspective. The default desktop image is the most identifiable thing when skimming screenshots in something like a review or across-the-room glances when using computers in public spaces. High quality isn't good enough to catch the eye from release to release, releases need to be visually distinctive in order to imply "new hotness"
Yes, making changes markets the new release. Not changing it, helpsmarket the Fedora brand, as people will recognize Fedora when they see it regardless
of what release it is. High quality have been enough to promote e.g. Ubuntu. I think you have toolittle faith in that Fedora developers will be able to provide the novelties and increase
in polish of each new release to make people upgrade. Regards Uno Engborg -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------Webworks Sverige AB phone: +46 40 12 01 57 Kamrergatan 29 mobile: +46 70 594 27 21
