That's also the reason why I did it like this. This script doesn't need to be run by the icon designer himself, it can be ran by the release manager before creating the tarballs (or anyone else for that matter).

I don't think it's a problem having non-optimized svgs in git, but we should provide users whatever is easier to execute when we release.
