This really feels late for such a user-visible change. We are now after
final freeze and long after user interface freeze - we would really
prefer not to have such changes done basically a weekend away from
release week.

Title:
  New Freeze Exception: Exceptional circumstance

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

Bug description:
  Changing the default wallpaper from the existing Groovy Gorilla
  illustration to the one featuring Raspberry Pi tinted sunglasses.

  For the default desktop wallpaper we'll 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 and
  also include the with the plain sunglasses mascot wallpaper as an
  option.

  The background wallpaper for Ubiquity slideshow should also be changed
  to use the version featuring the mascot wearing Raspberry Pi tinted
  sunglasses.

  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 no
  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.
