It's obvious: what if in 5 years from now only .svg icons are used or
the default size is not one of the ones provided for old icons?

Keep it simple.

This whole discussion is a good enough explanation.  How about explaining
why installing many versions of an icon is important?  And why should
emacs do it when no other application does it?  Where should we stop,
should we install old version of the toolbar icons too?


This should have been discussed more: the old icons were put in the tree
only because "there's no harm".

The fact that they get installed by default should have been discussed
separately, as it is a new thing that has not been done in the past when
icons have changed.
