It took Mozilla two years to decide they were 'neutral', citing a range of vague considerations. It took them another year to say that actually their 'primary concern has long been the increased attack surface of the reference decoder', without pointing out any specific major security flaws, and that they're okay with an implementation in Rust… which had already been proposed by the JXL team many months ago. And let's not even talk about Chrome.
Hopefully they've both finally settled on a reasoning and will stick with it until the end.
Yeah I guess I wasn't following that closely but I know their previous position was that there wasn't enough benefits to .jxl to justify supporting another raster image standard.
There's been a lot of major changes since then though. Like Apple fully adopting JPEG XL and PDF announcing support as well.
I know many in the industry also think that AV2 might be a huge game changer and wanna wait and see how that ends up before choosing what standards to adopt.
Hopefully they've both finally settled on a reasoning and will stick with it until the end.
