I think this is the main thing that's got to me about the whole artwork
mess: it's created huge divisions in a newly-born community for no good
reason. Regardless of the merits or demerits of the artwork itself, I
advocate a change from the current default simply due to the divisive
nature of the reactions to it and the need for a new community to have a
stable base that they can trust.

Cheers,
