This worries me. Because presumably, changing the compression algorithm will break backwards compatibility, which means we'll start to see "png" files that aren't actually png files.

It'll be like USB-C but for images.

I don't think that will super be an issue. How often has "progressive jpeg" ever caused problems? That's the same thing.
