https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-9506354e5b Freeze exception request for this package to be included in next RC. That way we aren't lying about the new backgrounds, e.g. https://fedoramagazine.org/fedora-24-default-wallpaper-preview-alpha/ I'll advise the Design team about the need for a freeze exception if they file a package late like this one. I think they may not have understood the process.
In fact, I'm hope I understand the process. ;-) I'm marking this MODIFIED because we have a build for the backgrounds, it just needs to be included.
+1 FE
Luya: could you please edit the update and mark it as fixing this bug? +1 FE, marking accepted. This is in fact technically a blocker, I think, as sgallagh pointed out: "The default desktop background must be different from that of the last two stable releases." so nominating for that.

This fix isn't complete. The package is present in the Everything repository now, but it's neither included on the Workstation live media nor configured to be used by default (either in Live operation or on post-install).
Discussed at today's blocker review meeting [1]. Voted as AcceptedBlocker (Alpha) - clear violation of "The default desktop background must be different from that of the last two stable releases." [1] https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2016-03-21
As this is accepted blocker now, no need to also have it as FE.
Note that the reason this package isn't pulled into a compose is e.g. bug 1319770 (missing update to desktop-backgrounds). As I understand it KDE has a different package for pulling in the backgrounda.

I was unaware about desktop-backgrounds. In a future, it will be nice to document the entire process for future maintainers or possibly automate it. I posted the availability of f2x-backgrounds in desktop mailing list but nobody pointed to desktop-backgrounds until recently. =( Hope such mishap will be avoided next time.

KDE verified from blocker perspective here: it does not display the real F24 background, but it does display a different background from F23, which is what the release criteria for Alpha require. Will check Workstation shortly.
Workstation side: fix looks good in Alpha-1.7, Workstation live gets the new background.
f24-backgrounds-24.0.0-1.fc24 has been pushed to the Fedora 24 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
