Use DjVu for scanned images, not PNG.
1. I didn't create or upload those (in case this was meant for me; if it was a general remark, I fully agree) 2. If the system allows it, users will use it. How many of our regular users even know about our DjVu capability, lest alone friendly drive/by contributors? How many of them can create DjVu easily, and will bother doing so? 3. Doesn't solve the problem at hand.
