And the new change is not merely all:  apparently you're also taking
away the capability to change back.

Change is a lot easier to push when you can offer a comfort zone to
temporarily revert it.  It's not like icon and toolbar style are
mission-critical-required to be locked in stone, so removing the
ability to change back was arguably excessive.

Unless casual users are going to band together and make their own
tweak program, or alter GConf keys, or some nonsense like that.  I'm
fine with the new style, but I find that assumption ("we can remove
that, and tell users to just hack around us if they don't like it!") a
little ridiculous.
