In this case, the mainstream certainly does not like the wallpaper. That's obvious. I also don't believe this wallpaper was landed in Maverick with the intention of it being a temporary one. This has never been done before, it was landed right on the UI freeze. If the default wallpaper does change between now and Maverick, it will be as a result of the backlash from the community rather than something that was planned all along.

Regarding giving more information: I shouldn't have to tell the design team what's wrong with it, they're paid to design good things, they should know. When somebody does bad work, they should be ready to face the consequences - most of the time criticism. This is true in all other areas of the world. Grow a thicker skin.

The problem with open source is that no one has the guts to stand up and call people out on bad work for fear of getting a telling off from the community - I should know, I'm usually the one standing up.

If no one points out mistakes, then we will never advance. This wallpaper is a mistake and it needs to be fixed so that we can forget about this and release the quality distro that Maverick is without users projectile vomiting when they boot up for the first time.
