But it's pretty late to make it an requirement.

I'm not completely opposed to it, but IMHO the whole concept of generation 
of thoundands of variants of icons (hidden, user acces, start, stop, etc) 
is obsolete and should be replaced by something else.

If you want reactivate it, but don't remove the GD check (unless you want 
to remove all checks in the complete Core and make the installer check it 
thoroughly). But I guess that there have been other reasons than the GD 
check why it has been disabled. So I expect some unpleasant surprises :-)
