The name kinda sucks. Does VIPS stand for something? I only mention this as
it's possible more people would be talking about it if they understood what
it was. A name like ImageScaler or something is much clearer.

In any case, it sounds very neat. :-)  And the VIPS dev team is using
MediaWiki, which is cool.

Are you sure about this? I recall a configurable 12.5 MP limit on rendering
of JPGs, but does that also apply to PNGs? And "disallow" is a bit ambiguous
here. They just won't render / have thumbnails created, they aren't blocked
from being uploaded, no?

No deployment to a labs or test site first?
