this is a wonderful feature, as I can't use JavaScript in my icon...

I think it certainly should replace animated GIFs, but I don't quite like this idea of using a slideshow of images, as the filesize can quickly get horrendously large.  I guess one thing that GIF has is that you're restricted to 256 colours, so the size is somewhat more capped than PNG.

I think the main reason why it's not being implemented a lot is because it isn't really a standard.  For one, I believe the group behind PNG development rejected both APNG and MNG.

It would be nice if video compression techniques could be used for these animated things, though I don't think any support alpha channels...
