Changing the default wallpaper in a Fedora Alpha release requires

The Alpha release criteria specify the default background has to look
different from the previous release. Therefore, because not all the
above changes were coordinated in time, Alpha is in a bit of a fire
drill right now to make changes.
Can we come up with a solution to make sure future releases not only
get the new wallpaper, but also that the appropriate maintainers are
notified, so they can change packages in time for Alpha?
What if we had a stock Fedora Alpha background? It could be made to be
really easy to update with a new version number — maybe even something
fancy in the rpm build script write onto a template graphic. Or
the GNOME Shell background logo extension could be extended to include
the version number and an alpha or beta label if appropriate.
