Request to clarify documentation - Linux icon size recommendations

[Nantris]

The docs say to include icon sizes of "Recommended sizes: 16, 32, 48, 64, 128, 256 (or just 512)."

Since the documentation explicitly mentions all these sizes, is there some benefit to including them as opposed to just using a 512x512 image? Given the size of an Electron app, I'm guessing that the recommendations have nothing to do with concerns about installer size, so I'm a bit confused.

Is this just if the user wants granular control over exactly how those sizes will render, as opposed to leaving it up to auto-scaling?

I personally don't know, but I found this through a quick Google search

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?

Not stale, but not critical either.
