Comment (by jameskoster):

 > Am I totally wrong in thinking the PR should be enough? For now block
 themes can only set site icon to be the same with site logo. That is
 really not so bad.

 If your block theme happens to utilise the Site Logo block then that PR
 will make the discrete flow for setting the site icon awkward at best. If
 no Site Logo block is present then the flow is almost entirely
 undiscoverable. I'd say that is quite bad.

 I don't really see this as a temporary solution, unless you consider the
 entire wp-admin settings views to be temporary, which is another
 discussion altogether.

 > Also what will happen to this setting once we do have the option to set
 it in the site editor?

 You can ask this question about all settings. What about the site name,
 tagline, etc? You can set those in the Site Editor, so should we remove
 them from Settings? I would say no, but acknowledge it is a bridge we're
 not ready to cross just yet. In the mean time we need to ensure that
 existing Customizer functionality (like setting the Site Icon) is at least
 moderately discoverable when that feature is disabled.
