Er, no, then.
You can still put custom icons in ~/.config/Inkscape/icons/hicolor, but you have to use the "discrete" format (like in the hicolor directory in the source tree).
I don't mind removing SPIcon in favor of something more standard (at least in principle) but whatever you do *DO NOT* throw away support for icons.svg!
icons.svg has two important properties:
- it allows users to edit icon sets directly in inkscape without a separate bulk export step (so it is important for users)
- most rendering regressions are discovered when SVG icons render improperly in the UI (so it is important for testing)
Aside from my personal opinion that icons.svg should not be removed (which seems to be shared by a lot of people...), Jon Cruz has been more or less responsible for the the icons code up until now, so please follow his lead in this regard.
