I thought you wanted frameworks themselves to bundle icons rather
than depend on a (large) icon theme.
And I would agree -- I just don't know how this interacts with icon themes, i.e.
is it a problem to have a single icon in the .qrc.

But Martin's argument (apps should be able to depend on icons) is indeed
a good reason to treat the default icon theme like a framework.

I'm OK with releasing an icon theme with KF5, provided that it follows the
KF5 rules/policies (buildsystem, versioning etc.) so that it doesn't have
to be special-cased.


(Notice I don't say oxygen or breeze, because I'm confused about that ;)
