It's not clear if using GIF is illegal, software patents are not allowed in europe and we don't make money with the client which can only read gifs not write them, but if we one day need to delete all GIFs then playerworlds should be prepared. No one should use GIFs anymore, we can enforce removing them soon.

PNGs/MNGs are much better than GIF anyway, smaller file size, better compression. MNGs can sometimes be slightly bigger than GIF animations because Graal doesn't support all MNG-optmization features and the gif2mng program either, on the other hand Graal handles MNGs more efficiently than GIF animations.
