A reasonable point.  I've just created a ticket for BMP and GIF support: 
http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2154 .

Thanks for the input.  We may be enhancing Shotwell's storage model in 
some ways in 0.7, but we completely agree that being able to undo or 
redo changes at a later date is critical, and that capability won't go 
away (in fact, Shotwell was designed from the ground up to support 
exactly that).
