I'm not sure I understand what your saying. A 48x48 icon is already a
minimum requirement, regardless of my proposal. But I don't see how
anything I proposed makes any other icon sizes useless.

I already mentioned that the update I'm proposing here isn't a binding
guideline, but to update the example from /usr/share/pixmaps to
/usr/share/icons.
