I think adding support for vector icons is great, but removing the gtk stock icon feature, that's ridiculous, why don't they just update GTK to support any image format
Well, ask them why they are dropping stock items, I only know of one single reason I find valid why they would have at least changed the API: inconsistency. GTK had APIs accepting both normal label strings and stock IDs, and the result changed whether the passed-in string matched a stock ID or not (like gtk_dialog_new_with_buttons() [1]). This probably isn't enough of a reason to drop the feature altogether, but it'd be one to fix the API.

rastor and vector both, as stock icons? Then it would be up to the theme to choose format. But I do strongly believe vector is better for the future because it's resolution independent, if GUIs relied 100% on variable formats/sizing like vector images and grid unit sizing, then it would be much easier to work with different form factors.Don't get me wrong, I know the performance fallbacks there would be with older machines, but it would be perfect for new technology.
As many of us already said, actually GTK *does* support SVG for icons since roughly forever, them being stock icons, named icons, or whatever icons.
