I propose that we add a line to the develops guidelines that if we include icons, we use the Tango ones. Otherwise we will end up with various styles, inconsistent looks and a lot of reinvented weels.

I agree in principle, but shouldn't we be able to choose from a larger pool of iconsets. Don't get me wrong - I don't propose custom iconsets in 4.7 - that will be too much, with too little time left. No, I suggest if choosing a default iconset then consider the ones in openclipart. http://openclipart.freedesktop.org Namewise the different icon-themes should be compatible.
