This is worth considering, the Tango guys are very persuasive and work 
with a lot of upstream projects for "tangoification", for example they 
develop the so-called "ArtLibreSet" (a subset of Tango) which is at 
various points of adoption in Gimp, Scribus and Inkscape.

This strategy would impose a constraint: those replacement 50 icons 
should have the style (palette, perspective, shadows, light, size) very 
close to the original set (Tango), so there will not be very much space 
for modifications (the same style so the entire desktop remain 
consistent and differences between icons from various levels* are not 
easily noticeable).
