This sounds nifty! I like the idea that the icon slots are permanent; it feels like great value for money! And also that it is less complicated to explain AND less complicated to implement.
I'm one of those seed account holders who haven't used up all their icon slots. Partly because I also have an LJ seed account and I crosspost everything, and LJ has fewer icon slots than DW does for seed accounts (212 versus 250). Also because I feel more comfortable having icon slots free for future use than filling them all up right now and then having to swap out icons later. Yes, I know, some people would call me silly.
