The truth is Bluecurve was introduced in RHL 8, released in september 
2002, about one year *after* the release of Windows XP.

But the original poster is wrong, the Bluecurve from 2002 was different 
compared with Bluecurve from 2006 and not looking at all like Windows XP.

That being said, I agree Bluecurve is dated but also realize the time 
until FC6 release does not permit much else than some small tweaks. 
Development of a full icon set will take a much longer time and AFAIK we 
don't have yet a clear direction to go.

About the list being silent this month, I can see a lot of possible 
reasons: summer, vacancies, GUADEC

I found his question about the boot-loader screens very on-topic, but 
unfortunately did not knew the answer.
Too bad that after finding the answer he did not post here to answer, to 
have it archived as a future reference...
