Yes - because the art work hasn't been a last second, deadline missing
thing in the last four releases has it? To blame the community process
for failures which have happened in all the other releases is a bit
disingenuous, although accept you were trying to avoid this by setting
up a formal process.

Anyway, I understand you don't want to waste time on this further, so
thanks for clearing up your decision. I still suggest that artwork
which doesn't meet your expectations is better than retaining the same
artwork as Dapper resulting in a peoples expectations for radical
change in Edgy being dashed further.

Thanks,
Mark
