I think it is probably worse for someone to install Flight4 thinking it is a
Polished Ubuntu release, and then to have something basic break on them.
This artwork makes it clear to anyone that this is a development version -
those who already know that they are using alpha software will know that it
will be polished and secure eventually, and the rest will hopefull go and
install Breezy instead, which is stable, secure and polished.

I suggest this be reverted to the original.

I think perhaps a tidier message saying 'Not the final release' would be
