Comment (by dd32):

 As a side-mention, the auto-generated plugin icons are inline/base64 SVG
 and are not available as a URL anywhere (ie. there isn't a "static
 "/cached-php-response SVG available)

 I guess the `default_icon` parameter provided in the ticket here is to
 somewhat address that, however in reality it shouldn't be needed IMHO? Or
 is that included for when a plugin slug which doesn't exist is passed.

 For a reference as to what I'm talking about, see the icons here:
 https://wordpress.org/plugins/author/wordpressdotorg/

 In the
 [https://api.wordpress.org/plugins/info/1.1/?action=plugin_information&request[slug
 ]=admin-color-schemer&request[fields]=icons API we provide it as a large
 `data:` uri blob] which should work the same in most places, however might
 be an issue for usage within mobile apps/etc.
