Community response of new ubuntu artwork

[John Harvey]

Renato i dont think people are getting the problem here.  

Im not american, im not a bigot and im not a prude but i do not like the
theme because of the content it has that i cannot use in corporate
environments.  The fact that this was done without warning and without
consultation scares us in corporate IT to death because its the one
thing that will make our efforts to push linux into corporate fail.  If
customers dont trust the OS not to do this sort of thing to their
corporate desktops they wont use it.

it might not seem like much to you but a corporate sees this sort of
change and begins to think "what if its pron next time?"
