Plasma 6.1.0 is now released
https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/6/6.1.0/
We had a chat with some distro maintainers, there was a mixed set of results.
Ultimately we need to make an executive decision, and after a chat I'm
stating we're not going to change the wallpaper in 6.1.x.
It will be the same as 6.0 throughout. The new wallpaper can be used for 6.2.
Sorry

Note that it wouldn't mean redoing a bunch of material, but rather it would
mean having the wrong wallpaper in the announcement, videos, and previous
promo material. Some of it has been published already, and the rest cannot
be re-done before the announcement.

fwiw Plasma 5.1 also had the same wallpaper as 5.0 ;)
Indeed SUSE will probably not be very amused when their openQA tests
start failing in a patch release because the default wallpaper changed.

What is the problem of delivering the wallpaper with 6.1.1?
It's a behavioural change in a patch release.
