If you want to move them into a package, that might be a good idea.
But useful icons are definitely in short supply, and if we don't
actively go looking for more, I don't think we should delete what we have.

There are a number of people in that list who are not anti-XEmacs, and
I have no problem with posting a discreet ad for people who consult on
free software, even if they don't work on XEmacs. -- as long as it's
not an invariant section, of course.
Mirroring or linking to service.html is a good idea!
