I can't say if this is set in stone, or when it's going to happen, but
we're likely to require the icons to be pre-shaped when uploading them
to the store (and/or shape them on upload). They will then look better
on desktop. As for legacy desktop icons, we'll need to have that
discussion sooner rather than later.
