That way a new user with no network connection would get a specific version of the icons, but if there was an iPhoto update you could update your icons and throughout the week the app would grab the new ones from the server. No need to rev the app.

Agreed, but in the meantime using icons from iPhoto's bundle is fraught with technical and legal complications (you have no idea if Apple has licensed the artwork under terms that prohibit its reproduction outside of iPhoto and standard browser controls, for example).
If Apple offers a standard API for this, then they could ensure that all ancillary concerns are accounted for.
And extracting the iPhoto icons and uploading them to your own server is an immediate no-go; that's almost certainly a copyright violation.
