For the former, it can be possible as long more people participate. For
the latter, upstream gnome can be "echofied" following the guideline[3].
Is it realistic to expect this to happen?

Please point out where we still have bluecurve icons in the default
install. I don't see how that would happen. The inheritance of the
Fedora icon theme in rawhide is:
Fedora - Echo - Mist - gnome (- hicolor)
Bluecurve doesn't come into play. Unfortunately, we still have to
install Bluecurve by default, for the cursor theme. Longer-term, it
might be worthwhile to find a newer, separately packaged cursor theme to
use instead of the aging Bluecurve cursors.

I have seen bluecurve icons in rawhide's applications menu, but I think
they are there because the 'upstream' apps use bluecurve style icons.
For example, the SELinux Troubleshooter and the SELinux Management Tool.
I think those should either be replaced with Echo icons or overrided
with Echo icons when Echo is installed, right?

Oh, yeah. Good point.

No, they weren't OK with the current coverage (at least Matthias Clasen)
and we are working hard to improve it.

With Mist, there are still new gnome styled icons, old gnome styled
icons and bluecurve. In some places we reduced the old gnome and
bluecurve to minimum, in others not yet. Check the System ->
Administration menu as an example.

Yep. If you feel some particular icon is missing, it's need-to-have and
is not on our todo [1], feel free to ping us about it.

Our general idea is that some time around the final freeze it will be
decided by art and desktop teams whether we are ready. If not, echo will
be pulled back and submitted again for F11. I'd be for voting, enabled
for art and desktop fas groups members regarding this issue.

*Writin for OLPC XO*,There are reported bugs related to hardcoded icons for
system-config* that have not been addressed via Bugzilla. Echo is using symlink
as workaround.
