For me, knowledge is the most important thing. To simply be officially 
informed that artwork changes are coming, and what they are expected to 
touch (login screen, theme, icons, etc.). This would allow us to plan when 
to take the screenshots and when to wait. Ideally, feedback could also come 
back from us, most especially with regards to timing. If the artwork slips 
too much, then we run into a major crunch for time. Screenshots cannot be 
easily translated, and thus must be taken by hand currently. I am not asking 
for a veto, but just have a vote as a team when and if the slips happen.

Thoughts?
