Even though I did forward my 2 cents on the issue, I didn't 
have such a strong opinion on the matter (the usual 5% of 
the users I occationally support will moan, I'm sure).

To me, the case was solved by those who were there - at the 
time it happened - so be it.
Maybe I'm not really bothered because this about a 
(trivial?) thing which then may be overruled/changed in the 
future, when/if there will be a more general policy-decision 
about icon-sets and theming.
And before taking such bigger (democratic) decisions, 
there's a lot of work to do.
