Limited usefullness. I've used a lot of PNG's in GRUB lately and can't think of a reason why I would use either. Maybe paletted 8-bit (if-that’s what you meant?) to save space.. but adam7? It's still going to be loaded as a bitmap. If I had some web png's and was to lazy to pass them through a converter... That beeing said, the work is done and unless it adds rediculous ammount of code size or execution time I'd be fine with the support.
