I have no idea why Canonical want's to move away from mascot
wallpapers. Both Hardy and Intrepid turned out *very* beautiful (in my
opinion). I know that many of the mascot wallpapers suggested looks
really bad - mainly because this is a very hard task.
I was sad to see the mascot concept didn't survive in Jaunty, but
again I must admit, nothing I've seen matches the quality of the last
releases.

If no truely artisticly amazing mascot artwork comes along as default
wallpaper for Koala, I would at least hope to see the mascot used in
Alpha releases. Using the current release wallpaper in Alphas is
(can't find the right word, but something like) confusing.

Just my 2 cent :-)
