What Michael is getting at is that when you stick to one technology
it's easier to handle it. So what I have been saying numerous times
now is, that PNG is broken in IE6 AND IE7 (the #1 browser, even though
we don't like it). I just had a case on another project where a hidden
layer made PNGs on a page disappear - oh yeah, and it worked with
right away GIF.

So for myself the decision is rather easy when it comes to PNG vs GIF.
Whatever introduces more problems than it fixes is not worth to be
used. Not too many people have time fix browser-specific bugs, so why
not move away from this completely?

In anyway, everyone is welcome to replace the images in his local install. :)

PICNIC (1), or human error is probably the #1 error in programming? :)
