Even if the hardcore POV'ers decide to install jpeg2000, what about
newcomers and guests who can't see the images and say "argh, stupid, I'm
outta here". This isn't what we need. These groups should not promote rare
file-formats or provide a testing ground for file-formats. Jpeg2000 is still
rare - your posts are my first encounter with the format, and I'm not going
to install the buggy Irfanwiew again. Last time it messed up my computer.
