Conceivably the project could have SVGs that aren’t just paths, for example the larger decorative image on the login screen or the occasional banner advertisement on the homepage, in order to make it scalable or more easily translatable. I suspect contributors would be more comfortable editing such images in a full-fledged editor like Inkscape, even if it would be overkill for the simpler icons.

(As a point of reference, the OSM Americana project has [a suggested workflow](https://github.com/osm-americana/openstreetmap-americana/blob/c4829f2c91099c3b5619fff829a390133ea08a53/CONTRIBUTING.md#highway-shield-contributors-guide) involving Inkscape and an automated build script that optimizes the exported SVG, stripping out the excessive metadata that Inkscape adds.)
