I think adding support for vector icons is great, but removing the gtk stock 
icon feature, that's ridiculous, why don't they just update GTK to support any 
image format, rastor and vector both, as stock icons? Then it would be up to 
the theme to choose format.But I do strongly believe vector is better for the 
future because it's resolution independent, if GUIs relied 100% on variable 
formats/sizing like vector images and grid unit sizing, then it would be much 
easier to work with different form factors.Don't get me wrong, I know the 
performance fallbacks there would be with older machines, but it would be 
perfect for new technology.
