I think that would be perfectly acceptable for a small minority of
users with such an incompatible configuration to get the opaque
fallback. Certainly it's far more acceptable than having two logo files
which will likely be frequently out of sync.
If the default logo was placed in the main style dir
relative paths to
that one would be possible as well. Any objections against this?
Yes, that would be rather inconvenient. On Wikipedia we have slightly
different logo images for every wiki while the rest of the styles
remain the same; this would then require maintaining dozens/hundreds of
near-duplicate style directory trees, where now we've got a shared
style tree and just adjust $wgLogo.
The trees would have to be carefully synced up to propagate updates
without overwriting the logo all the time (this is a problem for
third-party users as well; we should seek to minimize the amount of
mucking about with internal files that has to be done).
