This is not the regular wild and crazy 1000+ icon-sets. I´m talking of 
sets with 4-5 icons, tops. They would of course be in tango-style in 
order to blend in with the rest of the desktop. This would not have to 
go into main, but could live in universe instead to save space on the 
install cd.
I totally agree with you that something like this will be a bit further 
down the priority list, but if someone feels like doing it on their 
spare time, that would be kind of cool. Personally I´ll be  putting all 
my efforts on Tango (mostly application icons and probably a complete 
tangofication of a couple of apps) for this release.
