Given that we are now no longer recommending ImageMagick, perhaps
GraphicsMagick support feels more relevant now than it used to?
>From my point of view, GraphicsMagick has better performance, half as
many dependencies, and way fewer CVE's. Like ImageMagick, it also gives
us "free" support for a ton of different image formats, and "free" new
ones in the future.
On the flip-side, I personally get by just fine with our built-in
support for JPEG, GIF, SVG, PNG and some others (this list will include
WEBP in Emacs 29.1). So I have no idea what need our users have for
support for a wider range of image formats.
One final consideration is that GraphicsMagick support could be a step
towards making our ImageMagick support obsolete.
