I think many of their changes would break MediaWiki caching system. We could reuse their image stripping module [1] on generating the thumbnails, although the mention that it may produce a XSS make me wary of such method.
They also say they do data URL inlining based on user agent. We use aggressive caching so we can't do anything based on User-Agent. We still do data URLs, though, with a fallback rule that happens to only work in browsers that don't support data URLs. It's a dirty hack, but it works.
