The bad result of choosing the bitmap way has always been Mo's all-nighters and frustration and we certainly don't want to end up with that again... No-one can stop you from working on bitmap wallpaper though (we are project based on contributions after all) and if you manage to get people on it working soon enough to finish it in time, go for it, but it's much more likely that people will work on SVG based design and we cannot grant that your work will be the final one (but considering how great your works were in past, it would be definitely included minimally in the wallpaper extras). It's also easier to make SVG based stuff that is good for default wallpaper (i.e. the icons are easily recognizable on it) than photo-manipulation based ones. At least, that's my understanding how things are now :-D Martin
