Comment (by Cybr):

 @afercia what I tried to convey is that changing the color now requires a
 custom SVG reimplementation via the `content:<url()>` field.

 Before, with the Dashicon glyphs, we could easily affect it by changing
 one property (`color:<>`), instead of rewriting the whole thing.

 When the checkmark-SVG changes (for any unforeseeable reason) in the
 future, the admin-theme-maintainer will have to address that. This amounts
 to a lot of unnecessary work and discrepancy between versions. There's one
 big plugin in the wild that is already affected: bbPress, with their
 Evergreen and Mint themes.
