Given the wiki information noted by Rahul about the direction startup is 
planned to take, and what I would see as some risk in the "bits" 
required being ready in time, we could make the changes to grub and 
fedora-logos now and get it out there, when the risk is low - a long 
time to prove the changes are fine.

If something better comes along before T1 {
20 July 2007 	F8 Test1 development freeze
1 August 2007   F8 Test1 release
20 August 2007  F8 FEATURE freeze } then that would supersede the change 
I was suggesting.

Perhaps there has already been major development in this area, if not, 
it seems rather tight to achieve in 6 or 10 weeks will be enough time.

Anyway, I don't think I mentioned that I'm putting my hand up for the 
packaging if there is at least a chance it will be used, I'd rather not 
waste time though if there is going to be an outright "no" to the 
suggestion ?
