When saving an image to png takes 5 or 10 minutes, I certainly don't
want it happening when I didn't ask for it... especially as I might not
have 300 megabytes (the approx size of the last image I saved with gimp)
of available space.

People who work with images for pre-press and print generally have
larger files than people working on facebook avatars :-) and need
more control.
