From what i understood, imagick is used to resize images in attachments, however for imagick to be used, we need passthru to be enabled which is often disabled in web hostings.
What would be great is to support Imagick-php or magickwand-php, as it is a security problem to enable passthru, especially if it's just because of attachments..

Re: Imagick and security
phpBB requires imageMagick or the GD extension to do resizing. While the IMagick class would probably be nice, one of the above should be enabled on most, if not all, hosts.
Moving to 3.2 discussion just because anything that would be implemented is associated with some version
