I think such a feature is becoming more of a need, especially as file sizes and
resolutions grow very large.  We will soon have a Featured Picture in English
Wikipedia, e.g., that is 37 MB (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Great_Wave_off_Kanagawa2.jpg ).  So unless
someone wants to download all that (or knows how to work the thumbnail syntax)
they are limited to the default display size and cannot view a moderately-sized
larger version.  A Flickr-like feature that makes it easy to access a range of
image sizes, and/or an option to download a reasonably compressed version of a
file, would be helpful for users with slow connections.

I don't think feature cruft should be a big concern right now for image pages,
which don't have very many useful bells or whistles for the less wiki-savvy
users.
