In what situation does the everyday user want to add an icon to emacs? Programmers adding functionality might easily want new icons for that functionality, but I'm not easily imagining a situation where an `everyday user' would want to add a new icon to emacs without crossing (pretty far, imho) the line into what you seem to be calling a programmer.
Perhaps a user might want to switch all their icons to 'silk versions', something that might reasonably be done in a package. If that package contained all of the silk icons suggested, hundreds of them would still be wasted space.
What am I missing?
