Hey! I'm working on this project and can answer these. Image links will likely insta-rot, I don't expect we'll get redirects from Imgur but I'll ask them. In terms of extra feature requests, they're out of scope for now as we're just focused on completing the migration in time, but I'm happy to read any if you bring them forward. I really value the image ID stability too and plan to keep them in the same format, just a different host URL. The comment length is an interesting edge case I hadn't considered, thanks for calling that out. We'll be using the original source image, not thumbnails.

@KylePollard about the feature-requests, my question was what to do with the question posts- not whether the features they're asking for will get implemented as part of this transition. Ex. meta.stackexchange.com/q/101439/997587 which actually doesn't have that much to do with imgur (should we just remove the imgur tag?), and meta.stackexchange.com/q/92568/997587, which is still a valid request, but should we re-raise it for the new hosting platform when whatever that platform is has been decided? or just edit the tag in that existing one?

@KylePollard "I really value the image ID stability too and plan to keep them in the same format" can you spell out whether the IDs will be stable or not? same format does not necessarily mean stable IDs.

I plan on keeping the exact same IDs

@KylePollard expanding on the thumbnails idea, will SE consider a way to implement something similar to the simple imgur resizing shortcuts? Without them, I foresee many very oversized images in our future and a lot of editing - and a lot more HTML in answers.

@Catija good catch, we're going to try and cover the exact resizing shortcuts as well, barring any technical limitations

@KylePollard awesome! If y'all do, consider throwing it over to Teams to save them needing to use HTML over there (which they currently have to do). 😜
