Not at all. Losing the diffs just means losing one nice feature
of the Recentchanges avaiable with most wiki software (including MediaWiki).
Diffing images is kinda hard. For vector image formats
it's a little
easier, and for stuff like SVG it might actually be practical, but for
most purposes it's _extremely_ difficult to automatically detect the
"difference" between two images. I doubt it would be worth the effort.
I was hoping that for SVG it would be practical and even useful,
and if one is using SVG images, then maybe svgwiki already does this.
But for PNGs and JPEGs? Ha! No, not worth the effort.
