I think that enough has been said on this subject. Clearly there are people who believe this image doesn't belong in the Commons, or doesn't belong as a Featured Picture, or doesn't belong on the Main Page. And there are people who believe the opposite.
Since the damage (if any) has already been done, let's just agree to pay more attention to the FP nomination process, or to propose a different policy for Main Page placement. If there is consensus on-wiki, then we've solved the problem.
We almost always successfully solve contentious issues on-wiki through established mechanisms, and I don't see thismas being any different.

You have your opinion and this topic is 190 e-mail long (190 mails in 4 treads, in 3 mailing list). After all that attention i believe everyone knows your (and many other people) opinion.
Beria brings up a good point... After a couple hundred replies, I think it's clear that this discussion has trailed away into irrelevance. Everyone who has replied several times has clearly made their views known, and so far we've not convinced anyone to change their position.
I'm going to mute this conversation (isn't Gmail wonderful?) and will be taking any further discussion of the image or Commons Main Page back to Commons were it belongs.
See you on the wiki, Steven
