I'm with Alex on this one. Testing releases often do end up on screenshot sites like OSDir and I think it wouldn't make a good impression if we included "bogus" artwork that isn't representative of the final quality. During Edgy we basically kept Dapper's artwork, then moved on to Troy's "artwork preview" and then to the final work. On top of this, and this is just a wild guess like anyone else's, I think the big idea is to have Feisty's final artwork integrated from the start on. I'm talking about at least the wallpaper and possibly the GDM theme, login splash and usplash. Again, this is just a guess as the real plan seems to be forever out of reach of reality.
