Maybe then every major Emacs version should have a new icon?  This will
help to visually distinguish icons for different Emacs versions.

It seems this is already a long established practice: Emacs 19 has a
kitchen sink icon, Emacs 20 - a mushroom, Emacs 21 - a gnu's head,
and Emacs 22 - a notebook.
