people won't change but if the gif library were updated then maybe browsers could support a modern rev with unambiguously defined behavior and compression improvements, maintain compatibility for older gif87a and gif89a files, and then a path would exist for gif authoring tools to eventually output gif222 by default at some point in the future (instead of throwing our hands up and letting this crusty old tech define our internet forever)
