What more analysis you want besides "QIcon::fromTheme can never default to oxygen as KIcon did so it's not a proper replacement"?
Why this is a problem for you and others, and why you feel it needs to be solved at the level you suggest. Since you expect others to do this work for you as per your mail, that would help in enabling them to do so.
What would a distro do?
A distro or system administrator would make sure that either a suitable Qt platform plugin exists and works, or that a suitable 'hicolor' theme is installed, for the environment they expect users to use. I don't see how Qt can solve this for all scenarios, or needs to when the spec already specifies a fall- back. I don't see why KF5 should override this fall- back, or why the fallback should be Oxygen. Oxygen is not a part of KF5, it's just an fd.o-compliant icon theme. KF5 and Qt target the fd.o spec. Qt provides mechanisms to adapt the behavior to the environment etc etc. Can I think up scenarios where the ball gets dropped? Yes. I'm not sure those scenarios are relevant because all the options seem to be there to fix them. So don't see where the loophole is.
I don't know, i tried fixing the problem by myself presented a review that was approved (common ownersip!) but my code has been accused of bastardization so i had to revert it.
I didn't see that review. Maybe linking to it in your mail would have provided some useful context.
Cheers, Albert
