I used to support this idea of including graphics for a few older releases.
Now with the talk about alternate theming from the community, I think 
graphics from old releases can be on equal footing with theme packs from 
the community: in extra packages not installed by default but easy to 
install.

As I see, it make sense to include alternate graphics where the user can 
easily change them (desktop, GDM).
Where is not so easy (RHGB, GRUB) I see two ways:
- do not provide alternate graphics for these;
- provide a rpm to change the *entire* theming.
