Just an FYI concerning the beta artwork

I hadn't seen anyone else bring this perspective up concerning the
wallpaper in the beta and I thought it deserved attention for your
consideration as a group.

"Seems to me whoever chose the background that was introduced last
week did not consider that items with overtones of dissentious
subjects such as politics or religion might elicit emotional
reactions. I'm concerned that when my system prominently shows a
picture with a temple, that might be interpreted as "Mikus worships
paganism"


To my reckoning this is the first Fedora artwork that has had culture
specific elements in it, so this sort of issue might never have been
raised in prior discussions.  I don't know, I mostly lurk. But I'm
bringing it to your attention to make sure you see that reaction.
