This looks rather reasonable to me.

Artwork is things like themes for games, SVGs for plasmoids (those that don't
require code changes, maybe modulo some pixel tweaking), wallpapers, plasma
themes, color schemes, icons (*). The Oxygen style should probably be
well-frozen for it being critical and affected by code freeze.

(*) not sure about icons, especially when there are new icons for missing
ones.

I guess they should go in too, why not?

The release schedule says July 8th. Thought for 'bigger things' such as the
mouse cursors, merging sooner is better. The Oxygen cursors look rather
complete and usable, I've been using them for months now. Why haven't they
gone in long ago? :> 

Because while they're mostly done on most shapes, they still need approximately
4-5 days of work which I'm continuously procrastinating in favor of things like krunner and
other things that are subject to the freeze. ;-)
Therefore, I'd like to do some planning, to be able to prioritize...
I will try to merge those as soon as I can though.

Bye,
