By "default" I presume that you want it to be included in KDELibs & KDEBase in
place of CrystalSVG.  I don't think that we should do that with 3.x.

This doesn't mean that I don't like it.  I *do* prefer it to CrystalSVG.  The
fuller tonal range and the wider range of colors make it more usable.

It should probably be included in KDEArtwork.

I do note one negative point:

It (like CrystalSVG) has some icons that are too photo realistic to display well
at 16x16 and 22x22.  These icons look very nice at high resolutions but when
more than 4 colors are combined into one pixel (when they are reduced in size)
the very nice looking icon becomes a fuzzy colored blob.
