Comment (by triumvirate):

 No problem — I totally understand the maintenance concerns, especially as
 they likely fall on possibly uncompensated open source contributors (such
 as yourself?) who might have to field inquiries about such and such far-
 flung instance domain about "why isn't this one supported while this other
 one is?" far after I myself have walked away satisfied.

 make.wordpress.org/core -- it's the best spot to form policy such as this?

 Absolutely!

 I can try to enumerate those statistics as well for the 34 I selected
 above (

 > How long has the server been active for?
 > How many users does the server have, what percentage are active?
 > How many toots are sent on a daily basis?

 )
 towards that end?


 Also, I'm definitely open to workarounds; please let me know if you have a
 sense of whether this could (should?) be done as an add-on instead of in
 the theme -- I'm not familiar with what goes where, to be honest.

 Relatedly, also, I saw that maybe it's possible to modify `functions.php`
 with existing add-ons? I don't see a way to do that for this, though, to
 be honest, because looks like we'd basically have to monkey-patch the
 instance variable of `wp-content/themes/twentytwentyone/inc/menu-
 functions.php::Twenty_Twenty_One_SVG_Icons` which might be private from
 the perspective of `wp-includes/functions.php`? (excuse my Pythonic
 terminology here, haven't really used PHP).
