A bunch of unused images were removed from core in changeset 21498. Several of them were background gradients that were replaced with CSS 3 gradients. The rest have been unused in core for few releases.
However there are some plugins that use a few of these images and would need updating. Best thing to do would be to copy the images locally as that makes a plugin independent from core changes. If the images were gradients, best would be to use CSS 3 gradients (example).

Very nice!
Hey just out of the curiosity, is there a special reason why MS filters are not in CSS gradient, or is that because this is CSS3 only?
Example:
filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=#fff, endColorstr=#000);
and maybe add
-ms-linear-gradient as well
Thanks,
Emil

Hey Emil,
the -ms- prefix for gradients is no longer necessary for the final IE 10, see http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2012/06/25/unprefixed-css3-gradients-in-ie10.aspx.
MS filters are ugly, but there is a ticket for it: #19233

By the time WordPress 3.5 is released (December 5) IE10 would be out (October 26) and as Dominik said it supports the standard CSS3 gradients.
The core ticket is about adding CSS gradients support for older IE (7, 8, 9).
