Won't fix Font Awesome icons on thread_view are causing layout shift

I must confess that for instances such as this where the layout shift does not change the position of blocks, I have largely accepted that the layout shift is going to happen unless we apply .fa-fw to the items, which is not always ideal.
 
As this stands, we aren't going to make specific changes for the listed example. We will generally make a judgement call depending on the circumstances and how something like this might manifest. In my general testing, this doesn't actually tend to trigger CLS in real world cases. Forcing these icons to a particular width ultimately wouldn't bring significant benefits and may make maintenance more difficult over time.
