To be clear, there are generally no objections to "1) accept FLIF (and possibly serve PNG thumbs for browsers without js" other than convince commons it would be a good idea to accept the format. All the controversial bit is converting files to FLIF. Accepting FLIF files for upload is non-controversial if the communities want them.

I concur with the extension idea. I'd add that have options for degrees of using FLIF would be a good idea as well. I.E. the decision could be to simply 1) accept FLIF (and possibly serve PNG thumbs for browsers without js), to 2) encourage FLIF use, or to 3)"force" FLIF by converting everything to FLIF and serving only FLIF versions to browsers.
Even option 1 seems unlikely to gather support at this point, but it is a lot more likely than option 3.

If you want to work on implementing support for FLIF, I would recommend doing it as an extension (similar to e.g. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki /Extension:PdfHandler) rather than in MediaWiki core.
