I sincerely do not believe this has to be an extension, but a core feature.
I did not suggest adding an acp option in my RFC because I cannot see the need on providing an acp field to change the setting for this.
We here, can decide on a standard size that we can apply.
All we are doing is shrinking the image. Why would anyone want a quoted image at full size?
I provided reasons why leaving it the way it is inconvenient because it uses extra screen space and adds lots of extra scrolling.
We should avoid that and spend less time on scrolling and instead move on to the next post faster.
As i've told you in the tracker discussion, standards change for the better, even if it sometimes takes us time to accept them and get used to the changes. phpbb also had large images cut in half for decades as it couldnt simply resize them with css. Until the release of 3.1. We cal also make use of this new css feature in quotes.
I am not imposing anything, i am simply submitting a RFC as anyone would, with something i believe would be helpful to the core.
The users are who decide if my suggestion is worthwhile or not.

Actually, there is no need for the
max-width
because it gets ignored as it is overridden by the same attribute. The class you are suggesting might be more recommended though as it affects the image class... but it makes no real difference.
