Re: Alpha Criterion Discussion: Desktop Backgrounds

[Sandra McCann <scmccann2000@xxxxxxxxx>]

There are pros and cons to a generic background to pass the blocker status.  The benefit of course is that it fulfills the need to be a different background and thus detectable as not the latest/stable etc.  The cons is that quality of that generic background image may be less than it currently is, and that could change perception of the quality of the Alpha itself to anyone outside the core group who experiments with it.

So, if we could come up with a high-quality, generic background image that is the image we always use for prerelease etc, then sounds like a good compromise. There wouldn't be a holdup for new artwork, yet it would look different and thus noticable as not stable.

Going back to the criteria of 'different from the two prior stable releases' - suggests we could recycle earlier release backgrounds? At least as a temporary patch for Alpha.

Mind you, when I read the requirements, I take a different reason for why we have it - and that would be to detect I have the latest/greatest Fedora. Does that background change between Alpha and final release?  If not, then I'd suggest the alpha blocker is more for showing off the new release than detecting it's an unstable release.

"Auto Freeze Exeception" seems too complicated an answer to this
question.

Either continue to call new background a blocker, or decide it is
desirable but not a blocking issue.

If lovely new art is not available, some generic "Fnn" background could
be used then replaced by an update after release, in order to avoid delay.
