I doubt anyone cares about original images much though because no one really needs to see them on a 72dpi monitor.
Hmm. I don't know that we can make the assumption that the only purpose of posting an image to LJ is to display it on a screen. Scrapbook is a repository that has permissions synced to one's LJ; as such, I bet someone, somewhere is using it as a distribution system for higher resolution image files to custom friends lists. Maybe chat up some of the photography comms, see if this would be an issue for them?
(Which suggests a Meta-Suggestion: I'd love to see LJ-as-an-institution actively solicit feedback from relevant comms in situations like this, instead of just hoping some of them are haunting Suggestions. For something that might impact how images are handled, why not search out the three biggest, most active photography and fan art groups, and post something that either brings the issue to them where they are, or invites them into a discussion here or on lj_dev. I'm not suggesting that only power users' opinions count, but, jeeze, the power users' opinions should count a lot.)
