You can now specify a list of exceptions, i.e. articles where the image is
allowed to be displayed inline. The typical format is:
* [[:Image:Penis.jpg]] except on [[Penis]]
The text "except on" is ignored, it is not special. Only the links are
relevant.
I've documented the format at:

/me imagines that this will be quite useful for enforcing "fair use"
restrictions (cc-ed to wikien-l)

Why do you think that?
Reading that page leads me to believe that this is a quick hack which
filters all edits to the relevant pages, and somewhat of a
performance hog. Doesn't seem like something that could be applied to
thousands and thousands of images or pages.
