The response, as you read, was that arbitrary scripting is unacceptable,
there has to be some kind of structure.
I can't speculate as to why they can't be bothered to build a SMF
equivalent mechanism for user images, but they've repeatedly rejected
the suggestion.
I wouldn't take this as rejection -- just vigorously exploring other
options for the hope of finding something simpler. Questioning something
is different than dismissing it. But I am now prepared to eat crow
and change my spots.
Tom and I have been discussing some of our use cases today
and acknowledge that the proposal we put forward won't cut it.
So I formally withdraw the proposal and will close the bug.
When time allows we'll start considering options for a simple
cross-platform service framework for user images -- I see that
Nicolas has posted some thoughts on this. I don't think the
goal would be to have something as sophisticated as SMF.
