confusion between Fedora and GNOME - the Fedora brand will be strong
from the website / DVD sleeve through the install and bootup process
(Fedora splash graphics for the installer & firstboot, syslinux &
grub... Fedora logo for plymouth) and when it gets to the desktop part
it'll be neutral... not GNOME. Although I'm think the default webpage in
the browser will be a Fedora start page too, so Fedora branding doesn't
quite end at the desktop.
I don't think there will necessarily be brand
confusion, but I do think
that our brand would be slightly weakened if this proposal passes. One
of the reasons that I always stick with the default wallpaper (aside
from how great it looks) is so that anybody who even gets a glance of my
screen can tell that I'm running Fedora, and maybe even strike up a
conversation about it :-). While all of the other branding is still
very important, the wallpaper is really the only piece that will be seen
by other people, and I don't want to lose that by default.
Thanks,
