What happened to the new icon theme for 12.04?

Question

In the last Ubuntu Developer Summit (UDS), the developers from the desktop team and Mark Shuttleworth announced that a new icon theme is coming for Ubuntu 12.04, but... the Beta 1 is out and still no news of a new icon theme.

Has this being postponed to Ubuntu 12.10 or later?

There isnt going to be a new icon theme most likely since we are past user interface freeze and beta freeze. A login sound and wallpapers are the only ones which are expected. – nik90 Mar 01 '12 at 08:58
Askbuntu.com isn't the place to ask about Ubuntu+1. Please read the FAQ and There's an issue with an Alpha/Beta Release of Ubuntu, what should I do?. – Mar 01 '12 at 15:30

Unfortunately there isn't going to be a new icon theme most likely since we are past User Interface Freeze, Feature Freeze and Beta Freeze. I did not find any blueprints regarding this on Launchpad meaning it has been deferred to another Ubuntu release.

A new Login sound and wallpapers are the only ones which are currently expected to be landing in Ubuntu 12.04 Precise soon.
