Same here, though a little different purpose. Please do not decide for
users what isn't useful. Although, I has to say this function regressed,
at least for SVGs between F10 and F11 (sorry I didn't get around yet to
fill the bug, but I've heard it's a known regression) and resized SVGs
(when applying this on image previews) are rendered to bitmap in smaller
size than the final size is (I'd guess about 2 times smaller than the
final image), which makes it blurry.

And to the main topic: when you discuss some changes on IRC with one or
two other people, it's a good idea to let the community know about your
conclusions and discuss it with wider audience on the desktop list (in
your case) and *then* implement the agreed changes. Well, I have to
admit the F12 schedule has made it almost impossible for you if you want
to still make the "polishes" in time for F12... But please bear that in
mind in the future.
