Some plugins for photoshop etc store data in the fields that get removed by pngcrush and friends. In a sense, doing this is removing source data. While treating .png files as prefered forms of modification is insane, there are cases where crushing this will render them even worse. I've been debating writing dh_pngcrush / dh_jpegoptim. I think it's a good idea. Just don't expect graphic designers to want the result. -- .''`.
