Here is a complement to avoid misinterpretation (my sentence was too 
short/compact) :

I'm not against changes. I really expect them for LO !
But we must make every UI change with usability first in mind.

If we change icon set just to be able to say "we have new icons !", 
we'll just disturb existing users.

There was some recent studies about icon. They can be used to provide 
and evolution of current icon set. And why not, to show/hide the most 
used one.

Let's do user-testing on prototypes to be sure that any change will 
improve usability.

Thanks,
Michel
