Comment (by ohanar):
Right now the preferences that you can set aren't really publicized, so at
the moment, non-experts will never really see the preferences. Moreover, I
think that you should support experts who might care about the format that
they get (e.g. they always want jpg over png) and that they should be able
to set their preferences as such.
Additionally, with the binary choice, I wouldn't be able to implement a
renderer outside of the sage library and use it as the default in my own
backend, since all of the renderers within the sage library would be
preferred over my own.
For instance, SMC does not currently use a backend, but rather monkey
patches things because it uses its own threejs based renderer. While this
stuff will likely eventually make its way into the sage library, you
shouldn't be forced to implement these things in the library itself. If
the backend can specify its own preferred renderers, then it is possible
implement such things outside of the sage library.
