Ok, sorry, it was a bit tongue in cheek, didn't mean to sound harsh.

But my question was more about why some icons changed and others
don't. I see nothing wrong with the previous icon set, but now we have
a mix of styles, not just old fashioned icons, which is something I
don't mind. Is this part of a plan to replace old icons with symbolic
icons? Or is this because emacs is now taking some icons from
somewhere in my system and that behavior can be reversed toggling some
option?
