 Thanks so much for testing it, Jon!

 > 1. This is a bit odd "Site Icon creates a favicon for your site and
 more." -- What more?
 App icons. Yes, that certainly can be more descriptive.

 > 2. Discoverability is really poor at the bottom of general settings. I'd
 have assumed I'd find it under general next to the site/home URLs.
 I think that's where I'll place it in the core patch. The only hook on
 that page is at the very bottom, which is why it ended up there.

 > 3. I know we still can't upload SVGs through media uploader, but SVG
 favicon support _is_ finally starting to come to browsers (FireFox betas),
 For v1 that feels like plugin territory (just like ico conversion), which
 doesn't mean it can't be added later.
