I would be more interested in themed favicon sets like on Android or Linux DE's, and any way that would avoid Google or lock-in/forced updates to such as with the Play store or Windows I would avoid like the plague.
Gimme back .dll's full of icons I can create and edit to my liking. For modernization, meta-text(url or application name) for each icon instead of referencing "icon #x in this .dll", and a format more usefull than .dll's full of icons that all have to be the same size(and .tiff, .giff, or bitmaps at that, when jpeg and vector formats exist), but that's about it.
All this re-inventing-the-wheel/web2.0/3.0 shit is geared towards creating dependency and lock-in in the stupidest ways possible.
I mean, on F-Droid and Linux are plenty of icon sets. SVG too.
Indeed.
