These implementations were Skia-specific, so the expected interface (via
ImageDecoder.h) was the Skia-specific style. Peter's changes to ImageDecoder
brought these more in line with the Skia version, allowing a single set of
image-decoders (including these new ones).
The desire to roll back all of the changes would mean a loss of these new
decoders, at least until they had been revised to work with the original style
image decoder.
I would really prefer not to roll any of this back, and instead try to address
the various concerns with the current source base and move forward.
My understanding is that Holger's proposal to undo all of the original bug's
changes would mean a loss of this new functionality. I strongly oppose this.
