"Yes, re-opening.".

> Given these positive signals, we would welcome contributions to integrate a performant and memory-safe JPEG XL decoder in Chromium. In order to enable it by default in Chromium we would need a commitment to long-term maintenance. With those and our usual launch criteria met, we would ship it in Chrome.

Context: Mozilla has had the same stance and many devs (including Googlers) are already working on a Rust decoder which has made good progress.

LOL. Google, the "yeah that thing we bought six months ago, we're killing it off 30 days for 4 weeks ago" company demanding "long-term" anything.

That conversation doesn't apply to their core products: Search, Mail, Maps, Chrome, Android. Their commitment to maintaining these services over decades has been amazing. It's everything else that sucks.

long term support is actually being provided by google...

just a different team in a different country :D

most jxl devs are at google research in zurich, and already pledged to handle long tetm support
