It is just a spec on something widely implemented already.

Assuming Next gen PNG will still require new decoder. They could just call it PNG2.

JPEG-XL already provides everything most people asked for a lossless codec. If there are any problems it is its encoding and decoding speed and resources.

Current champion of Lossless image codec is HALIC. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38990568

Looks like it's basically reaffirming what a lot of folks have been doing, unofficially.

For myself, I use PNG only for computer-generated still images. I tend to use good ol' JPEG for photos.
