But don't you remember? librsvg is not a fully viable option, which is why we ended up having to include hundreds and hundreds of individually pre-rendered png files in the past attempt.
The PNG files were included because I could not add the librsvg loader to Windows devlibs. Now this is no longer a problem, so they are not strictly necessary. They could be generated on first startup or during the build.
Things are ok if one sticks to requiring users to always install the latest cutting edge versions of libs on their OS, but that's not practical. Also by *design* librsvg only supports a partial subset of SVG, and as Inkscape and SVG itself both move forwards, we diverge even more.
Even old versions of librsvg can handle our icons. Furthermore, all other icons on the Gnome desktop are rendered with librsvg, so its limitations would not be unique to Inkscape.
