Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I installed MahApps.Metro.IconPacks, and I want them all. I don't want to install one by one.
But this leads to a problem, too many dlls in the exe folder.

So is there a dll that contains all icons? thx.

Same issue here, this is very bad approach to keep so many dlls

Can you guys give me a point why this is a bad approach? Thx

I don't think this is bad. In our developer's view, this design is very good. You give many options to choose.
But for some end developers and users, they may care too many files in their exe folder.

@hupo376787 Why would anyone care about the amount of files in the exe folder?
If they really care about the amount of files beside the exe they might consider publishing as a single file exe, when on .NET, or deploy with a private bin path and move all dependencies, or a subset, to a different folder, when on .NET framework.
