But it would also be safer and a negligible size difference if you guys just
leave the existing useful and semi-documented system resources in future OS
versions. :-)

That _is_ a benefit. Artwork did change when color became available.
Pre-color apps that use system images get free color on color devices, while
apps with local copies stay black and white. I think I wrote one pre-color
app that used system alert bitmaps like this and would benefit from it.
See also my earlier postings on the subject of alert bitmaps. I like to use
them to make alert-like forms:
