Not at all. At least not the one from BNodeInfo.

Well, it is even simpler than that. Yes, we could add another constant, but
notice that the BBitmap is not returned, but supplied by the caller. So if
an application simply provided a B_RGBA32 bitmap, the function could render
a high quality icon, no matter the requested size. The API is actually no
restriction at all. Even the size of the icon is actually given by the
BBitmap, we don't even have to care about the icon_size constant, it could
merely specify the source for the bitmap.
