(Keywords: feature) 

Post-bug 1187118, (and corresponding work for PNG animations) we'll no longer have any need for paletted surfaces in ImageLib. That's because they're only used to save memory when storing animation frames, and streaming decoding of animated images will solve that problem much better by only storing a fixed number of buffered frames at a time.

Since paletted surfaces are a major source of complexity in ImageLib, we'll remove them in thsi bug.
