Only think of the installer "blender" image which used the glass ball when the installed distribution used a reflective one.

I was replying to a post from Rahul where he stated "Fedora Core 6 
artwork turned out to be even better"

> I have the impression that the 3-4 persons contributing the majority of postings to this list think of themselves as being representative of the user community which is obviously wrong. There has been no representative vote on the final theme. A first tentative one showed "Borealis" and "Flying high" on par. Then there was a second one whose only subject was the "Flying high" theme, leaving no other choice to the voters, although there have been some clear caveats on this list regarding "Flying High".

Votes? There was no voting process, the voting on fedoraforum.org was 
informal.

Read this: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/FC7Themes

"There is no formal voting process for themes right now. You vote with 
your time and effort! So if you really like a theme idea, chip in and 
help refine it! For our next round (round 3), we'll take stock of how 
the themes have evolved and try to figure out which ones we need to 
choose between if there is no clear standout candidate."

Read again the wiki page I pointed you above. The page was written by 
the founder of the Art project, was discussed on the list and we had 
consensus about it.
So what are you saying about hijacking?
