Parity with GNOME's icon theme is actually a goal for 2.0 which should
give us plenty of time to feel out any changes needed for GNOME 3. The
goal for 1.0 is to fill all of the icons mentioned by the Freedesktop
spec, which I don't see changing due to GNOME 3. It's a cross desktop
standard used by GNOME, KDE, and others. GNOME will work to follow it
for its base icons regardless of what else changes in GNOME 3. I don't
think we have much to worry about here....
