Aside from my personal opinion that icons.svg should not be removed
    

Just for the record, as I think that it doesn't get said enough, I'm -1
on keeping icons.svg.  The critical failure that icons.svg brings is
that there is no way for us to share icons with The GIMP.  There is NO
REASON we should have a different "Layer Up" icon than The GIMP and it
is part of what makes the Free Software Graphics suite feel fragmented.

I don't understand this notion that there is some Free Software Graphics Suite... rather than the icons even being considered as part of what makes it feel fragmented, what about starting with: UI design & Usability of apps are different, some TKs are different, and since "choice" is such a big deal with F/OSS stuff, many people don't even use the same tools. I think that the "Layer Up" icon is a great example of things that make sense to share... but, Tool-wise, the apps behave far too differently (imho) to even consider it.
