It depends on what is meant by "image". png and jpeg have vastly different compression characteristics. Using jpeg where appropriate can save someone on dialup a tremendous amount of time. However, many of the images we create as SVG are going to be the kind that store well as png... Since it looks like both jpeg and png are free formats, I'd like to avoid a "only pngs allowed here" policy. Both png and jpg have their place. -Toshio
We're not saying we will force someone to use png format only. However we'll *encourage* to use patent-free png format in Fedora Project. Regards, -- Thomas Chung http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ThomasChung
