Comment:

 The `icon16` selector is no longer used in Core, but a few plugins still
 use it: [https://wpdirectory.net/search/01F0APW51X955Z64064W4SQXBZ]

 It would be great to work out a deprecation policy for CSS so that 3rd
 party code can gradually move off these unused selectors.

 @mmaumio : regarding your patch, the aim is to remove the CSS rules
 targeting `icon16` altogether, not just the selector. However, we can only
 do that once we have come up with a way to address the deprecation issue.
 All the same, thanks for your effort!
