Comment (by RDall):

 I am against having the site icon in just customizer.

 Also when you hit Settings >> General it seem to me the prefect place for
 the site icon setting.

 Also if we go back to the chat from May 13th on the subject:
 > ''think it can also be in the customizer, but why wouldn’t it also be in
 the settings like the site title/description?'' '''Sam Slider'''

 Also it was discussed in the June 11th meeting chat with more debate:

 > ''I am also a fan of making it a setting not in customizer''

 We also never really agreed on whether to put it in the customizer or the
 General Settings so we decided on both.

 > ''We disagreed, so we’re doing both customizer and setting''

 I personally wanted both only because of the reaction of so many people to
 the customizer. But I was fraught with peril as this was something I was
 lobbying for yet didn't have the skill to pull off myself.

 My apologies I haven't been able to attend a lot of meeting on the subject
 or contribute but I hope you consider this feedback and understand that
 months before we got to this point the decision was no decision at all and
 to put it in both.
