I like FontAwesome, but...

Too many sites use it, and its a bit limited for my purpose. Any reason why FontAwesome is hard coded as the standard font icon and is there a possibility to remove this out of the core? I am stripping FontAwesome out of my site, but meh, is there an easier way besides having to modify the core ?

+uno.

Should really be plugged in really. As it's something that can be customised, and others do exist.

I think it may be possible. FontAwesome has LESS support, so we could possibly work that into the vanilla theme so it can be easily removed instead of removing it from the header.tpl
