I'm inclined to agree. As legitimate image sizes increase, there's more need to sanely limit the resources thrown at such images.
While on vacation last week, I finally grokked that my relatively cheap Nikon camera is producing 6000x4000 images...that's about 100MB uncompressed. As a mobile app developer, I'm becoming painfully aware how images breaking the 25MB uncompressed line are breaking apps, with some still-in-use 256MB RAM iOS devices crashing when memory fills under normal usage plus a few instances of such large images (1-2 vacation photos can easily overwhelm available memory).
