ePapirus is no longer needed as it will be merged into Papirus. It was originally created due to differences in "-symbolic" icon sizes between GNOME and Pantheon, as well as for tray support. Since Pantheon has removed the tray and the symbolic icon issue has been resolved, maintaining ePapirus is unnecessary.

During a live session in elementary OS, I noticed their wingpanel didn't use the icon theme I choose. A quick research showed a sad reality: elementary icon theme is hardcoded for wingpanel in elementaryOS 8. See Application: hard code elementary styles.

Seems, there is no reason to keep 24px symbolic icons that were copied from ePapirus to Papirus and mixing two different styles in one icon theme.

@SmartFinn Yes, it's only actions 24 symbolic icons.... Need create symlinks for actions, because it's used on XFCE
