Has anyone shouted "I need these in SVG format to start editing" and 
nobody answered? Where there's a will, there's a way.

IMHO, Fedora has two good paths and a bad one. The first are to either 
hire a professional to extend their new visual identity with a common 
desktop theme (just as Bluecurve was back then), a set of professional 
wallpapers and so on or embrace Tango.
The bad one is what's happening now, just to blindly follow upstream and 
hope gnome-look.org or whichever will suffice.
