+1.

It seems to me that the best solution is to actually use hicolor in the first 
place, for application icons.

Possibly with an oxygen or breeze variant as well, but that's the optional 
part.

I think we're dealing with a not-well-thought-out migration from years ago 
when we switched from hicolor to oxygen and just renamed every icon without 
thinking much about interoperability.
