Adpocalyptic added a comment to T19505: No High Dynamic Range Image (HDRI) file formats allowed on Commons.

I mean jxl is also a file type that can support HDR alongside other features, right? 🤔

Adpocalyptic added a comment to T270855: Add support for JPEG XL: allow JXL uploads in MediaWiki.

Now that Adobe are integrating support for the format into their products services & the PDF Association have announced that support for JPG-XL will be integrated as part of their specs, And support in browsers such as Safari - with Mozilla Firefox & Chromium/Chrome reps recently expressing interest in following suit with rust-based implementations as they start reopening the filed issues regarding integrating support on their platforms, that were previously closed with a neutral stance and a Wont Fix-style state.
Alongside multiple mainstream operating systems (Linux Distros, macOS/iOS, MS Windows etc) integrating support. And apps, extensions, addons/plugins being available to work with the format already

...Is it now appropriate to discuss whether it might be worth it to start preparing for ".jxl" getting added as a valid option in terms of file formats that are openly accepted for processing/hosting? There is still support for (optional) progressive loading aswell as backwards compatibility & fallback options (Displays a standard JPG thumbnail if a user is unable to access the .jxl preview version for whatever reason)

And while people might not agree that the status of this should be bumped up to 'in-progress', I still hope that the status is kept open while reviewing the change in circumstances, like the ones I have listed that have occurred in the time since this proposals initial consideration.

I think the best thing you can do to push this forward is have a discussion on commons to gain consensus to accept this file format. Nobody will want to do the work before knowing if commons will want the result. Having a clear discussion establishing that if we make it, commons will use it, will make people more likely to work on this.
