There's a discussion about it currently on commons-l, prompted by an inquiry from a magazine publisher about possibly using some Commons images, but unsure about their print-suitability.
For these kinds of reusers, it would be useful to allow some kind of RAW format, and DNG is probably the best one to pick, given that it's (relatively) open.
Interesting - even our highest quality 10mp JPEGs aren't good enough? I'm curious, because at [[WP:FPC]] we've generally considered that featured pictures should be big (heh, minimum 1000px) to allow them to be printed. It sounds like that's really nowhere near enough.
In any case, I don't think you'll see me uploading DNG's...they're huge :( And ADSL being the way it is...
