   > Should I know you insist on batch approach
   I won't actually insist--I'm happy to retreat from this work and let others 
do it as they see fit. Just make sure you understand the considerations 
involved.
   
   > I would never let your SVGLoader changes in
   If you're concerned about the size of the Batik JARs, I'd be fine with 
deactivating this feature until we have a set of SVG icons ready. The SVGLoader 
implementation is pluggable--you can just exclude it from the cluster.
   
   > Plus I found it totally scary that you have SVG icons, and they are not 
yet integrated. That's not how an open source project works.
   
   The story here is that I have a NetBeans Platform application that I develop 
for my company. Every icon in that application needs to be scalable, so I have 
drawn those particular icons in SVG. A subset of those icons happen to be icons 
from the NetBeans IDE. I'm happy to donate those icons, but I have to do that 
work outside of work time... i.e. during my next vacation.
   
   > Consider a new feature where 4-5 icons are needed
   See my earlier response further up in the thread.
   
   > My son wasted his days drawing two icons that have been drawn for 
weeks/months...
   It's not wasted time! The first time you draw an icon, most of the work 
involved is to get familiar with the drawing software etc. Once you've done a 
few icons, the next ones are much quicker. That's one of the reasons why I 
recommend doing 10-12 icons before integrating--with more experience, the later 
icons end up being better, and you go back and refine the first ones you drew 
etc.
