Sometimes it's a normal minus, sometimes it's a red minus, sometimes it's a red 
X and sometimes it's a red trash can (the line between "delete" and "remove" 
can be blurry). I think adding an `edit-remove` icon would likely cause more 
confusion, first for developers and then for users. I don't think using a minus 
without a plus is a problem, but perhaps the minus should be made red?
  
  
  A trash can in a list like D20576 <https://phabricator.kde.org/D20576> would 
look like you're deleting something entirely and a red minus would still have 
the context problem like I said. The GNOME HIG even has a rule for this 
(https://developer.gnome.org/hig/stable/icons-and-artwork.html):
  
  - Remember that some icons are only meaningful alongside other icons of the 
same type. For example, a media icon for stop is simply a square, and may not 
be identified as a stop icon without other media controls (like play, pause, or 
skip) being visible close by. Likewise, the icon to remove an item from a list 
is a subtract symbol (i.e. a single line), and will not be recognizable without 
a corresponding “plus” add icon.
