OK, if it is assumed that qt can show svg images, then it does not make sense to ship or own .pngs. If we want to stick with this, we should remove the .pngs now and require qtsvg at configure time. For me personally the svgs work fine both with qt 4.8 and 5.3, so I would not have a problem with that. I only thought there might by exotic systems where it does not work, and therefore I thought it might be a good idea to ship both png and svg for one release, instead of switching from only png directly to only svg.
