Hi, I'd request to remove the echo-icon-theme package from Fedora for several reasons:
- it's missing support for xdg folders
- there's no noteable developement action upstream (last monthly
news is from february 2009)
- the current version shipped by fedora is a nearly 5 years old git
snapshot.

I'm upstream. -1. While the development is currently rather stale I'm in the middle of transition from echo-icon-theme to echo-perspective and while the transition is in progress I still depend on the old echo. Some work in progress: http://mso-chronicles.blogspot.cz/2012/12/designing-echo-icons-again.html
Plus, as I'm also a user of echo-icon-theme I would like to have it in repos ;-) I plan to add echo-perspective to repos when it has some basic coverage ready and retire echo-icon-perspective when all its icons are redesigned for echo-perspective (that's my current intention, in the past I was pondering with the idea of working on both).
If that makes you happy, Heiko, it wouldn't be much of a problem for me to add a couple of symlinks to work-around the issue with xdg-folders. I don't see a terrible need for them to look different than plain folders...
