This is $n-th gradual tightening of the rules, again affecting dozens if not hundreds of packages, and the “ideally” note suggests that you plan to make the rules even stricter in the future. Wouldn’t it be more efficient to try to look more into a future, and try to do _one_ icon improvement pass that could last us for at least, say, 3 or 5 years? Just ask for something like (1024x1024 bitmap or a SVG/PDF) by F22 Beta, to give us some future proofing, perhaps?
(And I always thought that HiDPI is trying to keep the screen size of elements the same and only add detail, which is inconsistent with displaying low-resolution icons in a smaller physical size, but what do I know…)
