Dylan, You have a great point on the gender neutrality. I think for the overwhelming majority of us as tech-oriented guys its a little hard to get out of our heads. Now, that's perfectly fine for most Ubuntu developers, but for us working on concepts of UI and presentation maybe we should

I do like that idea of cycling through wallpapers in the alphas. The alpha needs default wallpaper anyway, so why waste it on old designs when it is basically a no-risk chance to experiment? I've only just gotten involved with Ubuntu and for a new participant it is extremely confusing and

I really love everything about it. No other wallpaper quite says Ubuntu is different from Mac and Vista like this image does. Its gender-neutral, hip, and there's a certain wonderful whimsical forward-looking emotion captured in that upturned face. If Hardy does adopt this, and it is
