The discussions are very interesting, but I'm not sure they are going anywhere. Sixels might win by default. It's not a bad thing. Sixels in 16m colors are quite versatile. But let's suppose that, eventually, a better standard for terminal image support might emerge.
Anything that can already support sixels won't be too hard to change to support this new standard, unless it doesn't use pixels -- though it would be neat if this standard was vector based, like ReGIS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReGIS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReGIS - I want SVG in my terminal :-)
For now, sixels already work reliably for most of the things I do. So now, I concentrate on the applications, to make sure most of my workflow can be console based.
