The "stock_channels" icon in gnome-icon-theme is more generic and was
originally meant for the channels in Red Carpet, which you install
software from. RSS is much more specific. The icon is fine, but I am
not sure what it's place is, in terms of the icon theme, or in software.
It would make a nice replacement for the Firefox version, in the
Industrial theme for Firefox maybe, if it were ported to work on 1.5 as
well as 1.0.

I want to reduce the number of icons in gnome-icon-theme at this point,
not add more. We already have a lot of duplication, and I want to start
getting people migrated to the new naming spec.
