 > I think the most important thing to review, though, is the new build
 process. Recent work was done in
 https://github.com/WordPress/dashicons/pull/246. The build process means
 that creating new icons is not an arduous process, which is important so
 as to keep the project alive. It comes with only two changes per how it's
 been done in the past:
 >
 > 1.  we can't edit `url("...")` to be `url( "..." )` without hacking core
 files.
 > 2. we can't customize the order of the icons, nor add "grouping"
 headers. Icons are output alphabetically
 >
 > 1 I don't care about, it seems a trivial price to pay for taking the
 vinegar and human error aspect out of adding icons. 2 I personally think
 is a benefit. But nonetheless these are aspects that should be considered
 before switching to the process-built icon font, which I believe still
 hasn't happened?

 I've just created https://github.com/WordPress/dashicons/pull/298, this PR
 updates the CSS template that generates `dashicons.css` to meet WordPress
 CSS Coding Standards. As noted in the PR I've added stylelint support so
 that it ignores the spacing and quotes around the URLs.

 The above makes 1. above no longer a concern once stylelint is added and
 2. I'm happy if your happy 🎉
