• Remove gnome-icon-theme and gnome-icon-theme-symbolic from the default

    From Laurent Bigonville@21:1/5 to All on Fri May 20 20:10:02 2016
    Hello,

    ATM there are some applications depending explicitly against
    gnome-icon-theme or gnome-icon-theme-symbolic packages.

    I think that these could be dropped from the default installation (I'm
    pretty sure that the cd team will be happy with that).

    So the question is, are we simply dropping the icon theme dependency or
    are we replacing it with a dependency against adwaita-icon-theme (or
    maybe even adwaita-icon-theme | $some_provide)? The gnome-core
    metapackage already pulls adwaita-icon-theme.

    I personally would drop all references to an icon theme (including adwaita-icon-theme) and let the metapackage pulls it

    Any thoughts about this?

    Removing them altogether sounds good to me.
