no. you can't. rsvg has been killed off thanks to a long history of instability
in it that brings e down in just displaying icons. esvg is where we're moving
to (it's the efl one). it also happens to be a fair bit faster than rsvg.

note - you can rebuild evas_generic_loaders and get an EXTERNAL rsvg loader,
so if it crashes app doesn't go down, BUt this comes with a large amount of
overhead compared to the inlined module so loading a new image is a lot
slower.  the icon zoom effect in e;s ibar launcher definitely suffers as a
result and stutters. i suggest you bite the bullet on esvg as there are many
good reasons to go that way. what need to be done now is probably some cleaning
up of the esvg and friends project setups, but this is a topic to discuss at
this stage, not necessarily do, but in the face of efl getting rid of its N
separate lib projects and merging into 1, it will make sense.
