Ok I think I understand.    The icons in NM now are fallback icons, so
if the Gnome team selects to use the icons you describe and they are
part of the default theme then they should replace the icons you see
in the package so this won't be an issue.

The easiest way to see this would be to change your icon theme to the
Human theme, you should see that it will use the icons selected by the
Human theme and not it's built in icons.
