See how easy it is to tell the 5.6 icons apart?
One person's meat is another person's fish. I can't barely discriminate between any of those in your sample.

Here's new vs old:



Given my visual abilities, when icons share a common look they become useless as a UI.

While they may not be aesthetically pleasing in the abstract, the very differences the old icons display -- variations in outline, in placement within the icon frame, in bright colors -- make them easy to use.

I need to literally read the new icons to distinguish between them. If I'm reading, might as well use print, eh?

pleeze permit me to continue to use the old icon set!
