I understand that space is cheap, but under what circumstances will, (at a generous guess), 600 of those 700 icons *ever* be used? All the circumstances I see include a step like ``...and a developer writes some code that adds a button, using a currently-unused icon from the silk set...'' - at which point the developer will 99% of the time pick the icon and include it in the library/package anyway.
What am I missing?
