What is the rational by "crushing" the pngs?
You are saving a trivial amount of space, but causing people to waste
bandwidth to re-download the pngs again negating any perceived savings.
You also have people on the project saying don't do it in commit messages.
{{{
Semi-transparent production points. Closes #1700.
Updated graphics utilizes 8-bit alpha channel, please don't crush it
accidentally.

I have a wireless connection, and it is really a waste of $ for these type
of changes.
Your ML shows that people don't want this done so why keep doing it?

This is highly annoying, in the future, if anyone has any big changes
that involved lots of files, please, please post to the list first,
and ask if it is OK.

I know this isn't a bug, but it looks like dak don't read the ML, so
perhaps he will read this instead.
