I think we should avoid icons altogether if we can. Thinking further ahead to the admin redesign some actions are going to be very hard to iconise like enabling/disabling auto-updates. Even today activating and deactivating templates don't have great icons. On mobile the problem is even worse because tooltips are inaccessible.

Could we try a Menu here instead?

This is the current state of text-based actions compared to what was shipped in 6.8:

• Improving the list hover status for 6.9 would be great.
• Bulk actions in mobile still use icons, but that's how they were working in 6.8. While it'd be nice to ship the long-term solution in 6.9, but given the time-constraints, I'd give this less priority.
• The text-based actions take a lot of space, competing with other columns. I'd revisit this and try to find a solution like we have on the list (the space is not pre-assigned, but rather, when the action is visible, we overlap it on top of the row content). Again, nice to find the long-term solution for this in 6.9, but given the time-constraints, I'd give it less priority.
