Discussing Genericons and Dashicons with Ipstenu and George Stephanis at WCSF Contributor Day, and wanted to bring this up for more discussion.
See also #24864.
Proposal: could we merge the two icon sets and have it be included in core?
A few things to consider:
- We’d have only one icon source to update.
- There’s already enough overlap. (But, would Genericons users want the extra icons?)
- Bundling in core will mean fewer themes and plugins needing to maintaining their own version.
- Would this bottleneck maintaining the icon source over time? If it’s tied to core development cycle it’d be slower to iterate.
