 > Why PNGs and not SVG files?

 Mostly to keep this as seamless as possible this late in the game. Icons
 can be shown in any number of contexts, including themes, and people may
 have existing size expectations. Width and height are determined by a file
 read, and searches through an enumerated list of extensions that does not
 include .svg. We *could* include SVG and do some magic around dimensions,
 but since it's just XML (and therefore not necessarily secure), and the
 path to mime type icons can be filtered, I don't feel good about opening
 that up right now.

 Definitely open to continuing to make this better in future releases,
 though. In a new ticket. :)
