Sorry, but I don't see why we should mix two completely different 
issues. The documentation team sets the rules for documentation, and I 
don't see why the SC should change these rules if they are - and they 
are - well thought.

On the other hand, marketing has different - short term - needs, which 
are important for the project but should not be taken as a rule for the 
entire project. Marketing, sometimes, is very tactical, because of the 
changing situation of the outside environment.

Documentation, on the other hand, is totally strategical, and has long 
term objectives and rules. So, the two projects should follow two paths 
according to their short or long term objectives.

In my opinion, documentation screenshots can be entirely Linux (unless 
there is a specific feature on a different OS).

At the same time, screenshots that we provide to the media can be 
entirely Windows (while on the web we can post both Linux and Windows in 
order to give a choice).
