Hi Rafael,
I understand that we have to freeze artwork for each release. But I
wondered if we could hope to have some artwork bug fixes in Lubuntu
14.04.1 (I am thinking to monochrome icon in lxpanel) ?

We make things for a reason. When we create new icons, themes, apps or
whatever, they are intended to be part of the system you have on your
home. But sometimes we need to experiment, or make tests, or just
ensure what we do does not affect a massive amount of computers.
Box is part of Lubuntu, yes. But it's a standalone theme too, if you
use another Linux distro. Also, I add lots of new icons and make
changes in the GTK theme. Imagine the situation that I modify
something that breaks the system on thousands of computers (it
happened, trust me). Before we push the changes onto Ubuntu's main
repos we have to be really really sure it works as expected.
That's the reason I have a separate PPA for artwork. The same about
the staging apps. When you download a system you expect it keeps
stable and not changing daily. And we're Artwork Team. We cannot login
in Canonical's servers everyday and say "hey, I'm going to change some
stuff, so your ISOs may change size and stability and package
dependencies". There's a complex structure and there're protocols in
the way we work.

I do not consider lubuntu-artwork to be independent from Lubuntu. When
I install Lubuntu, I want to receive updates to lubuntu-artwork
(and by
default and automatically). Lubuntu ships with lubuntu-artwork by
default, so why shouldn't I receive updates for lubuntu-artwork by
default? Why do I have to search and add a PPA?

That does not answer my question. Why do I have to add this PPA to a
Lubuntu installation? Why isn't it added by default or why isn't
lubuntu-artwork receiving updates by default (without having to add
this PPA)?
We're not talking about a third party GTK+ / icon theme here. We're
talking about the Box icon theme / Box GTK+ theme, the official theme
of an offical Ubuntu spin. I consider this to be quite a difference.
By the way:
I also do not understand why I have to search for and have to add
a PPA
to receive those updates:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/lubuntu-users/2014-May/007478.html
https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-dev/+archive/staging
<https://launchpad.net/%7Elubuntu-dev/+archive/staging>
Why can't this just be added to Lubuntu by default?
If you ask me, you really should release a new ISO with those things
being added / updating by default ASAP.
Just saying...
Regards
