(Oh, and if you want numbers, I don't like the new "Mac" icons. But I don't care what the default Emacs icon is, so I made no comment when opinion was solicited. I also don't understand your desire to change the Emacs icon every major release, but neither do I care. If it makes you happy, you go ahead.) > And after that the people that like the emacs-19, 20 and 21 icons will > come out and ask why aren't those icons to be installed by default?

We will get bug reports that a format is missing. You can assign all such bug reports to me.

I assure you, the effort expended in this thread already far outweighs any that might be required to deal with these putative emails. I'm just offering people who want to make a choice an easier way to do so. And I'm doing the necessary work, so I don't see what your problem is. I also feel like pointing out it was me who wrote the Makefile rules to install the precious icons, at your request. What you are actually asking for is to change these rules to only install `emacs.png'. This is utterly trivial, but I disagree with you that this is needed. But if people agree with you, I'll make that change.
