I didn't see any reason against deleting the default icons in there. To be clear, what we're talking about is:
CLI's config.xml has an icon: Yes: Delete template icons then copy in No: Leave template icons Right now what happens is: Yes: Leave template icons and copy in app icons No: Leave template icons It's a subtle change, but a good one I think.
