I think I would prefer a potentially slightly manged image in most
cases, vs adding special case feature detection logic to avoid
run-time errors from code that works with SVGs.

Would it make sense/be possible to warn with "consider upgrading
librsvg" or similar when we detect Emacs is using a "too old" version
of librsvg?


Thank you.
