[ubuntu-art] Let the disappointments begin?

[Vadim Peretokin]

There have been dissapointed followers at each and every release of the
Ubuntu 8.10 alpha:

http://digg.com/linux_unix/Ubuntu_8_10_Alpha_5_Screenshot_Tour_The_Intrepid_Ibex_Chro
http://digg.com/linux_unix/Ubuntu_8_10_Alpha_4_Screenshot_Tour
http://digg.com/linux_unix/Ubuntu_8_10_Alpha_2_Released
http://digg.com/linux_unix/Ubuntu_8_10_Intrepid_Ibex_Alpha_3
(digg links because of the ease of finding them, but just searching "ubuntu
alpha look" will get you the same result)

Now, it looks like the news sources are starting to realize this is stuck:

I'm unsubscribing from the list for personal reasons, but one non-artistic
recommendation I can give, is that the PR definitely needs work. There have
been several cases of misinterpretation during the alpha (like with the
brown theme, which was supposedly just a test one, but nobody was told that,
and everyone thought it was the real new one and gasped in horror).

Everyone at the moment is held in suspense for the artwork deadline - since
after being dissapointed with each release, and other people telling them
next alpha will be better, the deadline is the last thing there is now.
