Hi Brynn, The poster originally emailed me directly and I asked them to post the image to the gallery and then post a message to the inkscape mailing list. Mostly just to see what people were thinking.
I like the idea personally. But I see some challenges to it professionally. The biggest consideration for things like this is the both western centric and perceivably christian/pagan centric traditions. If images can be targeted, then it makes it easier to just show it for certain countries etc. If we don't mind being a bit blustering and ham fisted about it, then putting up a replacement image is just a matter of a small code update to the website. Although then you do have to look after the site later when you need it to come down.
