Considering this more...

I still believe that having all artwork done by feature freeze is
the proper idea.

That being said, we didn't actually *have* any policy in place
at feature freeze for FC6. So, it's somewhat hard to hold to that
policy.

My proposal for *this release is*:

- shelve the icon set - it's not done. Feel free to ship it as
  an optional update that users can install and then switch to,
  or something similar.
- for the various splash screens/logo-ware, we can change them
  as long as they are in by *test 3*. Which doesn't leave much time,
  but if they're mostly done (as they appear to be) it should be
  doable.
- as to *what* artwork we ship, I hope that fedora-art can come to
  some sort of consensus.

Opinions?

Bill
