Isn't the new alert symbol (an exclamation point in a triangle) in dialog boxes a misapplication of the international icon for "WARNING"? The international icon is meant to apply to warnings of dangerous or even life-threatening hazards (electrical shock, crush hazard, etc.). Watering it down to apply to "Are you sure you want to delete the System file?" situations is bad.
