In https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/20597 we discussed switching to SVG (instead of an icon font) in Django 1.10 when we can drop support for IE8. Now that Django 1.9 is slated for December and IE8 support ends the next month, I think it might be acceptable to drop IE8 support in 1.9 and go with the SVG solution now. What do you think?
Is this a blocker for merging the existing PR (which currently needs a rebase and release notes)? I'd think the two issues could be separate commits.
