in my opinion, we could actually remove this feature. I don't find it particularly useful (a raster scaled down to 16x16 pixels usually doesn't provide a good overview), it adds additional overhead when the raster layer is loaded and further complicates the complex raster code. Another argument could be that vector layer also don't have an icon containing the preview. I'm just afraid of creating too many configurable options that barely anyone will understand their purpose.
