The result would be distros swapping the wallpaper and we have unreadable text. This is something which will happen, I have been too long in this business to not expect otherwise. We want to provide a good experience for everyone. And that means this change just cannot go in, sorry about that.

The only distro I know which does not exchange the default wallpaper is Kubuntu. Sorry, we just cannot do a change which renders the text possibly unreadable on most systems.
  
  
  When I worked for OpenSUSE and we used different wallpapers, we always went with darker ones to accommodate for the wallpaper. It wasn't always something we "had" to do, but it was a common request to use a wallpaper all of our own. However, we were careful to use something that wouldn't bury the content from on the screen. Although distributions use their own wallpapers probably doesn't make much of a difference for us whether we have a wallpaper there or a color instead. Therefore, it can be done. I see a lot of good branding coming from accepting this change.
