--- Comment #10 from Bartosz Dziewoński <matma....@gmail.com> --- I am still very, very uneasy about this, but I have to admit you have a point. I'm not convinced that the benefits outweigh the drawbacks, but I don't really see anything that would make it reasonable to block this. If no one has better points, then I guess we'll just have to try and see. (In reply to Shahyar Ghobadpour from comment #9) > 4.

These files are not loaded by modern browsers, and including these links costs us next to nothing. > In addition, these massive blobs of text don't compress very well in > CSS, and bloat the request size. Most of the icons are smaller than a kilobyte in size, and I'm pretty sure gzip does a good job on them. It could do an ever better one if we didn't base64-encode them if not necessary, I think Matt was working on that recently. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
