That's a pity, since it would have been very handy for auto comparing images.

There was a discussion somewhere (maybe on this list? I don't remember) to store MD5-hashes of image data in the table with the other image information (size etc.). Nothing came of it, I'm afraid. Too bad.
What was the reason for this? Was it the technical difficulties, or just a lack of willingness?
I'd say 10% the former (MD5ing all existing images on all wikipedias and commons would mean server stress), and 90% the latter.
