While I would love to have the icons in the master, I think it's still a bit early for that.

What's currently been done is Writer's standard toolbars (default view) icons, and I'm still changing them repeatedly with feedback from the design team to achieve a unified look.
Once I'm done with that I will start doing the icons missing from the standard toolbars of the rest of programs (roughly 30 icons not counting Base). Polishing these shouldn't take as long once a unified look is achieved.

After that we could possibly push a testing (alpha) version of the icon set to the master so that people can test it and play with it. I estimate that I would need a couple months to reach this point :)
