With all those factors in mind, here's what we boiled it down to.
I
propose we replace the Alpha criterion with this one:
* The default desktop background must be different from that of the
two
previous stable releases
and add a new Alpha criterion:
* Any component which prominently identifies a Fedora release version
number or phase (Alpha, Beta, Final) must do so correctly
....
I propose we modify the Final criterion a bit, just to update it for
the more restricted modern artwork era:
* The proposed final Fedora artwork must be included and enabled by
default for all graphical bootloaders and the desktop background. All
Fedora artwork must be consistent with the proposed final theme
I went ahead and changed the criteria (because I needed to use them):

We would also have to modify some test cases slightly, the changes
just
follow from the above.
I haven't touched the test cases. Feel free to do so.
