I've actually been asking various people on IRC about this today. Very
few of them are thinking it could be a skull - in fact, all of them
required it to be pointed out, and the vast majority of them still don't
think it really looks like a skull after close observation. As you saw
above, most people thought it was an animal, and one thought it was a
coffee cup. I'm sure that if anyone stared at it for a sufficient
amount of time, they could come up with something else it was - but
equally, they could do this for other wallpapers too.
Either way, it won't change for release. Sorry.
