Interesting - even our highest quality 10mp JPEGs aren't good enough?
Apparently some print people actually do say "give me the raw file! JPEG not good enough!" even if it's the same lines per inch and those of us who've had to use JPEGs in print know damn well that any JPEG artifacts will be completely invisible.
It also allows the DNGs to be developed differently for different purposes. Imagine three images uploaded at a time: the DNG, a PNG and a nicely cropped JPEG of the PNG, each for different levels of reuse.
