The devil in me wants to gather up a rag-tag group of designers and get them to start doing incremental improvements to the Haiku icon set. Then sit back and watch as the veteran devs begin discouraging that rapid development because it causes too many system-wide file writes.
How would it cause too many system-wide file writes...?
Most files on Haiku don't use custom icons, they just use the icon associated with the mimetype. Application binaries the primary consumer of the icons-in-attributes feature.
