I'm not sure. I think there should be little opposition to making the symbols customizable, but changing to an image in a robust way might be trickier (we want the image to scale to match the font size).
I wonder: instead of an image, can we use a glyph? IOW, is there a platform-independent way to either load a custom font into Emacs, or create a custom font and tell it which characters it contains? This would be a nice solution for this issue: we would just display the sorting indicator with that custom font and be all done.
This would actually improve the status quo in many situations where things are currently done with images. For example, it would make it easy to display icons that scale nicely (e.g. in mu4e) or to implement new powerline separators (https://github.com/milkypostman/powerline/blob/master/powerline-separators.el).
Cheers,
Clément.
