I think that ship has sailed a long time ago... software needs regular updates for security patching, so adding new formats is not the big deal it once was... If nothing else, just provide a slow-but-correct decoder that translates the format to a long term stable format (e.g. PNG).

An in-app decoder would translate to pixel data. Why would you re-encode to a different format like PNG that's optimized for storage when rendering to a display?

  Sorry I meant recode to pass into tools/libraries that no longer support the older format.
