What exactly is the problem with normal icons? Jenkins isn't dial-up friendly 
anyway, so optimizing the first-time loading of 5 icons won't make a 
difference. What specifically does 'device friendliness' refer to?

Font-Awesome seems to be pretty small and doesn't have icons with "modifiers" 
(e.g. New Item's star, Build History's pencil). Isn't this going to be a 
problem?

Does this mean single color icons instead of properly colored icons? Will these 
be all the same color, or color still be used to distinguish the icons?

There should be a migration strategy for plugins that makes old plugins not 
look out of place (and new plugins on then-current LTS installs). I think I've 
mentioned it before, but having to install the latest & frequently-not-greatest 
because plugins raise their minimum version to get new _icons_ wouldn't a good 
solution.

Icon-related issue that could be cleaned up while this is being worked on:
- "Manage Jenkins » Script Console", "Build History", "(Build) » Changes", and 
"(Build) » Edit Build Information" use the same icon
- as do "Manage Jenkins » CLI", "Console Output", and "(Node) » Script Console"
