Implementing icons through icon font was by far the most preferred method (19, 67%). All the SVG methods combined didn't even get half as many preferences (7, 25%).

I'm curious what the other methods are people are using... presumably using raster images with `<img>` or similar? I wish I had given that option.

"Ease of font icon use" and "licensing" were perceived only positively. "style of icons", "ease of cross-platform use" and "number/coverage of icons" were perceived mostly positively. "Ease of SVG use" and "governance/management of project" had mixed perceptions. "Frequency of releases" was perceived mostly negatively.

I find these results a bit difficult to interpret, but it at least suggests that for the respondents, there was no clearly superior icon set, given all their criteria for consideration.

The final question, in which respondents could select as many of the options as they wished. Most respondents (18, 64%) would like to see the project reactivate. Significant minorities (heck, everyone is a significant minority in a group of 28!) voted for the remaining options: to focus on SVG usage (8, 28%), to continue as before (7, 25%) and to encourage users elsewhere (4, 14%)
