There are bad examples as libpng though where upstream maintainers are not willing to take extensions for apng.
Well, why not then apng is made a separate library that depends or libpng or something similar that does not require bundling the full library into Mozilla ?
Depends on who you ask? I could probably do that but what is the big win? I know that all mozilla based apps would use it if I put the work in to build it that way. So we could share it between probably 3 apps. Does it make a difference? Why APNG is not a library on top of PNG I don't know and I'm not going to change that myself. I wouldn't expect anything like that from Mozilla because they have to win exactly nothing but more work and uncertainty about their behaviour. I understand the Unix/Linux philosophy and there is a reason why NSPR and NSS are separate components because I've driven that in the past. But every component is an extra decision and we have to find a good compromise for them and need to check pros and cons carefully. I don't see too many pros on the apng example right now.
