I disagree. IMHO the logo threads show a lot of users like to chip in
with their opinions. No harm there, and no impatience either. I
believe rushed things tend to hit fans. Therefore, i'd rather wait
longer and have a decent, stable(ish) alpha rather than having a cool
looking breakage-prone thing tomorrow. I vote for Release when ready.™

Nope. *To me*, it's neither a real issue nor is it interesting and
along the same lines i don't give a rat's ass about the logo either
(although i obviously do have aesthetic preferences and picked a logo
from the poll). Since alpha's gonna ship with a minimalist DE, i'd go
with a gradient/solid color background and focus developer time in
real issues like removing systemd dependencies. I'd even be cool with
no GUI in the alpha release, but i grok and support how a minimalist
DE is a good compromise.

Prior to recent (at least in Debian) releases, Xorg came with the
classic checkered monochrome pattern, i'm cool with that :)
(Now it comes with a black background which is really moronic 'cos it
leaves me wondering "Did --configure barf or is this the root
window?").

My personal 2¢
