Comment 5 for bug 1363015

Christian, I fully agree that shaping icons shouldn't be part of a list API. It's nothing to do with lists; for example, developers often need to use app icons in splash screens or About screens.

But that doesn't address this bug at all. The bug here isn't "List item icons usually have inappropriate frames", or even "App icons require shaping in every list item". It's "App icons require shaping at every callsite". For example, imagine you reimplemented the "Updates" list using the new list API. How would the app icons get a frame around them? Would it happen automatically, or would it be something you have to remember to do? If it's something you have to remember to do, this bug is still valid.
