Title:
  New Freeze Exception: Exceptional circumstance

Status in ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in ubuntu-wallpapers package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  A description of the proposed changes, with sufficient detail to
  estimate their potential impact on the distribution:

  Changing the default wallpaper from the existing Groovy Gorilla
  illustration to the Raspberry Pi specific one with the Raspberry in
  his sunglasses.

  "We'll basically need to revert https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
  /ubuntu-settings/20.10.2 and https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
  /ubuntu-wallpapers/20.10.2-0ubuntu1 and update the warty-final-
  ubuntu.png"

  A rationale for the exception, explaining the benefit of the change:

  The benefit is to pay homage to the work various teams have been doing
  with the Raspberry Pi foundation and to their product. It's a way to
  signal our commitment to making their platform great and deepen our
  relationship with the Pi foundation.

  
  Any additional information which would be helpful in considering the decision

  The concerns people have are of product placement and forcing
  something onto peoples machines. There are several arguments against
  this, the option to change to the default easily, that there is not
  direct link to Raspberry Pi anything and its quite subtle. But
  ultimately the reason is we want to make a splash with the Raspberry
  Pi and arm in general and this is a very good way to do it.
