Nobody has made it an excuse. The icons didn't disappear. They were
symlinked to another icon. It's been that way for 8+ months. And not
a single person has complained or filed a bug on it, until now. I would
consider linking to the wrong icon to be a bug. However, it hasn't come
up in the past 8 months. Nobody is stating that it isn't a bug that the
flash icons are linked to the removable drive icon, rather than
harddisk, or a generic flash icon. So please rethink your complains when
you want to accuse people of "just ripping them out for no reason."
