JavaScript developers tell me that disk space and network bandwidth are cheap these days. While they're mostly saying that to try and justify extremely bad architectural decisions (what's a couple thousand NPM dependencies between friends?), maybe we can apply that logic here. Maybe it's worth making every image file twice as big, if we can use a much simpler decoder implementation that's not a constant source of bugs and security vulnerabilities.
