Since people are doing dump redesign right now, might I suggest that providing better integration / information on Commons-hosted images would actually be useful. As far as I know the current system has no way to distinguish between Commons images and missing images except by downloading the Commons dump files. That can be frustrating since the Commons dumps are larger (and hence more trouble to work with) than all but a handful of other wikis.
