This is done, to be bundled with the next update. Unused assets are cleaned up, everything that's not a legacy icon are converted to WebP, and badges use native emoji. The whole database in fact can now use emoji.
The PNG site images are pretty well compressed, but they might as well be WebP or vectors where possible. Another improvement in this space would involve storing badges as emoji (they're all raster images of emoji anyway). That'd be better for native platform integration, as most of the site icons are already Unicode emoji characters.
May need some database work to store the badges as emoji, maybe a
utf8mb4_bin
character set:
