Comment:

 I disagree. The original icon came from Twenty Eleven and was made without
 particular regard for conventions taken into consideration when designing
 icons for the best possible user experience and recognition. Shapes play a
 huge role there, and, yes, the angle of the magnifying glass is actually
 something that we could consider. We considered like ten different designs
 of the flag on the new feature pointers, down to the number of waves and
 the exact angle of the flagstaff. And once, I recall

 I'm marking this for ui-feedback, and will reach out to the people who
 normally tend to our icons and discreet UI elements. Icon usability is a
 very particular subject.

 I specifically suggested to ericlewis in IRC that if something is
 perceived to be a UI bug, then there is no harm in making a ticket. Let's
 not scare away contributors so easily.
