 Changing headers on already installed sites sounds like a bad idea. Many
 users may not necessarily like the default header image, but just by
 leaving the default they still made a choice there. Having their header
 image change all of a sudden will feel intrusive.

 I think doing this for all new installs from now on should be good enough
 - no need to force it on pepole who already installed and gotten used to
 path.jpg. Even if they didn't pick it themselves, it was still their
 choice not to change it. We will be effectively going over their heads and
 reaching in to their sites to change something they like, just because we
 don't.
