Thank you for a good, objective breakdown. Gentoo is in an awkward position here: as was discussed in the bug, it isn't simply a matter of setting libpng[-apng] by default, letting Mozilla bundle their own libpng, and moving on with life. Other programs on Gentoo systems, built against libpng over the years with apng support, will suddenly *not* have it, and this situation could cause problems and data loss for users. I'm not a (Gentoo) dev, and I don't have strong feelings either way, but it is an unenviable position to be in. Regardless, I have trust that things will be resolved reasonably in the end.
