Please don't shoot me, I am just the messenger. ;)

The reason why we need the media earlier this time is:
     * We are collecting quotes from different producers and need the
       artwork for that.
     * In the past we repeatedly had problems with the artwork provided
       because it did not match the specifications of the company. The
       biggest problem usually is the printed margin around the actual
       sleeve that is used for folding and gluing. I had to rework most
       of the sleeves and I need more time in case something goes
       wrong.

Please allow me to add two more things.
    1. Because of the problems with the margin, please try to avoid
       round shapes in corners like the object that contained the
       architecture. It was supposed to be a 90° curve but if cut off
       and/or folded I looks a little strange.
    2. I would also like to see a "Not for sale - For promotional use
       only" notice on the sleeves. It might help us with customs in
       countries with high import fees.

Thanks a lot to everybody involved in the media artwork. You are doing
an awesome job with every released and I'm looking forward for your
ideas about F16.

Regards,
Christoph
