The numbers seem small enough that it will rarely matter, but I suppose there might be a use case somewhere?
But lets be real here: this is basically just a new image format. With more code to maintain, fresh new exciting zero-days, and all of that. You need a strong use case to justify that, and "already fast encode is now faster" is probably not it.
I don’t think it’s quite as bad, though? It’s using a known compression library that (from reading other comments) has seen use and testing. The rest of PNG would remain unchanged, as the decompression format is a plugin.
I know it needs to be battle tested as a single entity but it’s not the same as writing a new image format from scratch.
