I don't think we'd really be correct in blocking the release for such
issues - especially not Beta. We used to have 'polish' criteria for
Final which at least required the icons used in the system menus - i.e.
what's specified in the app's .desktop file - to be sane for all
installed applications, but we dropped that (and other polish criteria)
with the F19/F20 criteria re-write on the basis that they were really
stretching a bit too far and would be unlikely to hold up to a 'last
blocker before release' acid test. Stuff like this doesn't break
anyone's use of the system catastrophically and can reasonably be fixed
with updates.
