The footnote was intended to be relating to the spam blacklist, actually. Namely, "the spam blacklist does not work in the same way, so don't bring that one up."
This would be my personal favorite, assuming we think the bad image feature is worth spending the effort on. I doubt most wikis really find it useful, so making it an optional extension sounds good. If I was confident I could implement something like that cleanly in a reasonable timeframe, I might've done that myself, but I still consider myself a newcomer to the wonderful world of MediaWiki source code.
It's the preference I had too. I was downstairs making coffee just after sending that email, and I could almost see the code. :D
