Comment (by jorbin):

 @jameskoster I didn't intend to say that things are non-negotiable, sorry
 if it cam across that way. What I want to avoid is there being three
 different ways that this is managed which is why the direction right now
 closely remembers the customizer. It also seems to be
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/54370#comment:15 the direction you
 had previously supported.]

 Stepping back a second, I think that the UI for this needs to get a couple
 of pieces of information across:

 1. What is a site icon and what do you need to know about adding one (for
 instance the minimum size)?
 2. What does the site icon look like?
 3. Which site icon is selected?

 I think the app icon / faux browser duel preview does a good job with 2&3.
 I'm not sure that just displaying it in the smaller browser concept will
 do a good job of helping people understand. What would you think of taking
 that, but making it a bit shorter so that it and a larger icon would fit
 next to each other?

 I like the direction you went with the Replace/Remove. What do you
 envision the hover/focus state being for the remove?

 Moving the text down to one line also seems a worthy idea, but I think the
 information about minimum size and shape is still beneficial. How about a
 single string saying: "Site Icons are what you see in browser tabs,
 bookmark bars, and within the WordPress mobile apps. Site Icons should be
 square and at least 512 × 512 pixels."
