Officially, OpenTracker is Axel's baby and he can (and does) do with it
what he chooses. :-)
Personally, I would prefer to have us hold our noses and live with the
icons as they are. Why? Because rather than take a baby step, I would
rather see us take a big step a little later. Be's releases were always
worth looking forward to and I think that doing a whole bunch at once is
a good idea. In this case, too, OT would depend on Storage Kit which
would depend on SVG which would depend on XML. All of the icon "stuff"
could be done properly and in the right places.
