You know, people really like to use this excuse. And then when it stops
working, they're like "it's been working for so long!"
This is not part of the API, and it is not supported. Not every piece of
artwork the OS uses can be considered supported API - we'd never be able to
change anything. As everyone else has been saying, NSWorkspace image for
type/file APIs and +[NSImage imageNamed:] are the API, and if it isn't
there, you can file a bug but should use your own artwork. (As it says in
the NSImage header.)
