Because that's a huge hassle for virtually zero benefit. You have to generate, store, and cache twice as many images, and implement some logic in Squid so it can serve different images to IE6 than everyone else (plain Vary: User-Agent would mean generating like four billion times as many images, not acceptable). On the other hand, the images will be *totally* *indistinguishable* for *virtually* *all* *articles*. The current situation is *really* not a big problem that's worth spending significant effort on. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
