I've previously looked into this set, but my honest thoughts are that the vast majority of the icons have very limited use in mapping, and would just be cluttering up the including symbol sets for little value. So while I'm all for expanding the set of including icons, I think we'd need someone to go through and cherry-pick a only a subset of the font awesome ones which are relevant for mapping purposes...
