You already knew that this is a huge bikeshed when you posted... :)

I know lol.  I really don't want our bikeshed to stand in the way of us
having "something" though.  I really don't care *what* we include.

DeadYak gracefully quoted in IRC:

"I don't think I've seen a single desktop OS come with a desktop wallpaper
    I didn't immediately replace"

I think that's something we should think about.  The wallpapers give users
a "low bar option" to adjust their desktop's look. Most people who really
care will download their own wallpapers :-)

FWIW, I find the above image too busy. 

100% agree. I tried it and threw up a little.

I'm not sure we'll get this done before the beta2 freeze...

We could toss in the "already existing" wallpaper_unsplash package
and call it a day.

Next release (and *especially* R1) we need to hold a vote on this stuff with
some kind of "mass voting system"
