I disagree for multiple reasons. First of all for consistency (e.g. offering
the option in other places since we noticed that users care a lot about it, and
we stood on quite some feet there), but also because while it is possible to
create your own or use a different icon theme, without that option you are
forced to delete icons every time symbolic ones are (re)-added and either have
to workaround that on every update, or create a forked set and thus no longer
get other updates.

Long story short: while some people might have preferences or even opinions on
it, it's imho an entirely valid wish, and thus closing it with closed
intentional (or not a bug) is imho bad practice and could be done on just 95%
of our feature requests if we wanted.

Especially as this imho should be a broader discussion iff we want to set on
something final, and I saw none of it happen in the usual places.

Only half-true, the reason why this feature request was created was my feature
request about the opposite, which got implemented in 6.3 (well, it's broken,
but different problem), I'd know, since I follwed the discussion since then.
The problem in oxygen was brought up way after, and is imho just an excuse to
close this one.
